According to MissionalChallenge.com, the average cost of starting a church falls between $200,000 and $300,000.
The cost of opening a church can vary depending on a few factors, especially if you decide to establish your own building or rent out a location. If you decide to purchase a building, the cost will largely be determined by the real estate in your area. Renting out another building, church, or school can be a cost-effective option when you’re still growing and establishing your church.
After those costs are considered, there are startup costs to think about as well. This includes hiring staff, properly branding your church, and purchasing various resources and equipment.
