Build a Church
Church buildings come in different styles and sizes. Often new churches start under a "hangar." There are several different types of construction. Construction costs vary from about $7000 to $12,000 for a small to average sized structure. Some are made with mud bricks, some with cement bricks and others from a locally quarried stone. Techniques of construction vary, as do lifespans for these buildings. Below are some examples of village churches. From time to time there are opportunities to build larger churches in certain towns and villages as well.
A church structure is very important culturally, as it helps to show the community that you are a legitimate religious organization- and that you are coming with the intent to stay involved in the community by investing in it and it's people! Also, people who come from a Muslim background hold having a place of worship as a high priority. Often the building of a church is a catalyst as people see the sincerity and serious intentions of the church to engage in the community.

There are also needs for several larger churches in our area. There are currently 4 church bodies that have outgrown there current church buildings and are praying about building bigger building to accommodate their needs. These churches are most often in key hub towns. If you are interested in partnering with these local churches to expand, let us know. These are larger cement brick structures that would include an office for the pastors and some storage space for church purposes.
