Can a church rent out a mobile home and still maintain their non profit status?

The term "non-profit" does not refer to the inability to make money.  The term simply refers to the fact that there are no individual owners that make money on the operation of the entity such as shareholders.  A church renting land usually would not violate the entity's non-profit status, unless said actions violate the corporate bylaws. This is not intended to be legal advice, and is general in its nature. No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information.
