Church Building Expansion – Costs Per Seat

What is the cost to save a soul for eternity? Priceless! Every seat in a church building is an investment in someone’s eternal salvation and spiritual development.

What does it cost to create a fully functioning church facility? We're talking about the TOTAL project costs including property acquisition, financing costs, soft costs (design, engineering), hard costs (site, vertical construction) and outfitting (furniture, fixtures, equipment, audio, visual, lighting). An excellent way to look at these costs is based on the total project cost per seat. Here are some examples.

  • Journey Church Colorado (ground-up) $17K per seat
  • Mission Hills Church (ground-up) $16.7K per seat
  • Living Way Fellowship (ground-up) $15.3 per seat
  • Crossroads Community Church (renovation) $12.5K per seat
  • Stapleton Fellowship Church (renovation) $13.9K per seat
  • The Rock Community Church (ground-up, renovation) $14.4K per seat
  • Colorado Community Church ($19 million renovation; 1,700 seats) $11K per seat
  • The Orchard Church ($13 million ground-up; 1,000 seats) $13K per seat
