In this article, we will be examining Assistant Pastor Reymundo "Rey" Aguirre's family in more detail, and highlight some the benefits that this family has reaped as a result of their "insider" elite status in the church.

In addition to reaping the benefits we will discuss further below, Reymundo has been on the church payroll for many years, serving in multiple leadership capacities, including Church School Principal while receiving a salary.
The purpose of this post is to bring attention to what at first seems like a noble endeavor, a residential complex created to provide lodging for elderly and widowed congregants.

Vision Statement
The Golden Dawn Tabernacle, also known as Tabernaculo Emanuel, has property tax exempt status for some of its properties, according to the Pima County Assessors office. However, it is worth noting that the church does not have a 501(c)(3) filing with the IRS, which is typically required for tax-exempt status for religious organizations.
The church requires its members to pay a 10% tithe on their incomes, and it is unclear how this income is used by the church. The church reportedly owns a large number of properties, some of which are not used for church purposes or as pastor residences. It is worth investigating how these properties are acquired and managed by the church.
