What is the name of your state? Michigan
My sons have raised money (over $1,000) collectively toward their personal accounts for the church. The oldest son was "kicked out" of the church and was told that the church could not give him back the money because it belonged to them if he no longer attended. We were however allowed to transfer that money to another sons account. Now that son wants to quit the church and attend a different one. He raised $700 more than he needed for the trip he was fund raising for. Is the church responsible to give him that money back or are they allowed to keep it when it is his personal account. The youth pastor (who has a history of being not so truthful) has told me that their lawyer says they cant give it to the kids who earned it. Is that true?What is the name of your state?
