Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Build Your Kingdom Here?
   • BYKH is a specific fund designated for the facility needs of Grace Collective Church.
   • As of January 2019, BYKH has raised $104,500 toward our anticipated needs for future facility costs.

2. What is our facility need?
   • We need a minimum of 6,000 square feet to accommodate our Sunday morning worship environments.
   • HVAC systems, and multiple restrooms are also required.
   • Adequate parking is also a need in considering facilities. We will need parking for 50 to 80 cars.

3. What are the costs of the market?
   • Our monthly rent at 914 Cherry Road was $4,000 plus utilities on the 11,000 sq. ft.
   • Warehouse space averages approx. $5 per square foot. 6,000 sq ft. would cost $2500 each month. Warehouse space (assuming it has adequate parking) would most likely require installation of HVAC. That could be a considerable cost in the tens of thousands of dollar range.
   • Retail spaces (free-standing or store front) averages approx. $14 per square foot. 6,000 sq. ft. would cost $7000 per month. Retail space rarely has more than one or two bathrooms. Additional restrooms would need to be installed. This would be a considerable cost as well.
   • Schools are often used by church plants. The cost for renting schools is set by the School District. The space needed and school administrator, janitorial, and technical assistance required by the District policy would cost between $5000 and $7000 per month. We would also have to purchase a trailer or box truck to store our belongings each week. Onsite storage is highly unlikely in a school facility.

4. What are the geographical options?
   • Central Rock Hill or proximity to I-77 would be optimal locations. As options move outside of those areas, ease of access and directions becomes a factor. We want to find a location that is easily recognizable or requires simple directions. We are looking to stay in Rock Hill as opposed to Fort Mill, York, etc.
