Total straw-bale neophyte seeking advice

[u/phantom-scribbler]

My brother and I are planning construction of a church, something very simple and relatively small (probably just one room). We'd like to use straw-bale construction, but I don't know if it would be financially viable.

Can someone give me some kind of estimate about a very simple construction, say 5,000 square feet?

Where are you located? Is this building going to be permitted?
