What do we need?

Wasn't sure where to post this but here goes nothing.

The church I'm attending recently purchased a new building and last yesterday we had our last service in the current building.

Here is the current musical equipment we have:

2 keyboards (not sure if the keyboardists have their own moniters or not)

That's pretty much it. The Pastor's kid has a drum set already but they will be purchasing a new drum kit for the new building. We are not sure if the church that owns the building we used to attend will donate any equipment.

The current building we are moving to holds around 110 people, and is about 50 x 100 ft (really rough guess). The musicians consist of 2 keyboardists, 1 bassist, a drummer, a congaist (if thats a word), a guitarist, and at least 4 vocals.

What would be the bare minimum the church would need to purchase to get a decent sound system set up and about how much would it cost?

Sorry i forgot to add this the first time.

We have a bass, and a drum set as well.

Check out Carvin's site. They have PA bundles, and see a Christian based company, so you tend to see them in a lot of churches.

Decent quality and performance.

I've heard their power amps up against high-end Crown stuff, and while it's not dead even with Crown, it was close, and do you really need Crown-quality at church volume? Not really.(this was at about 95 to 100db)

Good luck on your hunt.

The church had already gone out and and bought the music equipment by the time I had posted this thread, but thanks anyways Jay. I'm not quite sure what we have but I can't wait to see the sound system up and running. I'm going to work at the church this afternoon so I'll post on the sound system if its up.
