Is the biggest church in Utah?
The largest in terms of membership is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon") church - over half of the people in Utah are Mormon.
The largest church building or largest congregation is difficult to determine since most churches dont release that information, but there are several large Catholic and Christian churches. The Mormon church has several large buildings (including the 1.4 million square foot conference center which seats over 21,000) but as they are not used for weekly congregational worship I would not call them 'churches'.

How can Mormons support their large families and live in big mansions with only one income?
Very few Church members are in such a situation. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) teaches it's members to be modest and self-sufficient. They try to avoid debt and anything that involves 'getting something for nothing' (such as gambling, stock market, and investing). They give at least 10% of their income to charity. They are told to have money and food reserves so that they can take care of themselves during financial emergency. Those Church members who are fortunate enough to live in large homes have made it there by hard work, honesty, and dedication. If they are so fortunate, they are expected to help those who are not in such a situation.
