Does all churches have bell tower and why?

No, not all churches have a bell tower. Bell Towers (and the use of large bells) were used since ages past to call the faithful to gather at church for worship services / masses. Hence, most ancient / old church buildings (like cathedrals) do feature bell towers. However, most modern church buildings (especially those of the Protestant churches) don't have bell towers. Anyone is free to come in these churches and observe the worship services taking place (typically during Sunday).
