Prophets could be assigned one or more messengers, acquisitors, or other functionaries, as a level bonus. This can even be more than one level bump. You could, for example, get a messenger to be an assistant at level IX, an acquisitor to act as a remote agent at level XII, and 1D8 acquisitors and 2D12 messengers under your bishopric at XV as you move further up the hierarchy.

For funds, this could be a matter of demographics. In areas where one church has saturated the culture (or several have a large portion of the populace) it's a matter of determining how many people are in the covered area.

10% tithing is pretty standard, though some faiths add other complications. For example, in the Temple of Light half of the tithe is kept locally, and the other half goes up the chain to the religion as a whole. In Stryfe-heavy areas (such as the Darkmouth Emirate) there are multiple small specific donations for various church services, but these essentially work out to the same 10%. Ten percent of income for a given populace isn't terribly hard to figure out. With multiple competing faiths, you only need to multiply by the percentage of followers, to find how much goes to which church.

Newer cults, such as Amelioration, aren't likely to be a whole percentage point of a sizeable population, such as a city or shire. For these congregations, the guidelines in Relationships would be more appropriate. Finding 10% of their income is still fairly simple.
