One sure fire way of running up the cost of a new building is put form before function. You will always have folks who want the building to "look like a church," in other words, what they think how a church building should look.

If your church is forced to close its doors at some point in time, a functional building is much easier to put to secular use and therefore much more sellable. Vacant churches can stay on the market for years before they are sold. Wrong location. Expensive to convert to secular use. The longer a building stays empty, the more it deteriorates, and the less saleable it becomes. Eventually the site may be sold and the building demolished.
