The Costs of a New Church Start

Starting a new congregation is an expensive but very worthwhile venture. 

It takes a pool of $150,000 to $200,000 to finance a new congregation over a 4-5 year period.  The goal is to have a new church start self-sufficient within five years. 

Financing for a new congregation can come from the following resources:

• Individual donations
• A 5 year pledge of local mission dollars from a congregation.
• Organizations, such as Women’s Fellowship groups, can make a gift.
• Churches can designate a portion of a Capital Campaign.
• Special fundraisers, such as a Church Fair or dinner, can designate proceeds to a new start.
• Conference funds for new church starts
• Applying for grants from the National Church

THERE IS NEVER A SHORTAGE OF MONEY, ONLY VISION.  

DO YOU HAVE THE VISION OF A NEW CHURCH REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE WITH THE POWERFUL WORD OF THE GOSPEL?
