Editor’s Note:
This post was written in the very earliest days of what would become the Simplicity Church Network. It reflects the process of letting go of old models, listening to Jesus, and learning to follow the Spirit into a new way of being the Church.
One of our objectives with Simplicity was to create a rapidly deployed, easily reproducible system of starting new work. As we launch our first work Simplicity Church – Corpus Christi I believe we are on track. Our total start up expense looked like this:
Simplicity Church – Corpus Christi Startup Expenses
• Texas Non-Profit filing – $25.00
• 501(c)(3) affiliation filing – $595.00
• Leasing deposit – $600.00
• First month’s lease – $600.00
• Liability Insurance – $373.00
• Certificate of Occupancy – $211.00
• Website domains – $20.00
