I've been asked to create a website for a very small church. Given the limited budget and lack of technical staff, what is the best option for building a site that is low-cost (or preferably free) which a church member can easily maintain and modify?

The church's previous site was hosted on Geocities if that gives you any idea of the type of site they are looking for. The site doesn't necessarily have to contain a CMS, the emphasis here is on cheap and easy.

I have no experience of Church123, but they are trying to do what you want - keeping it simple. Whether you count it low cost (0/year plus more for domain names) is your call.

WordPress is best option for small to medium business.
Can easy installed by hosting provider hostrivers.com etc

In other hand Joomla is fantastic option for a website that requires multiple user privileges or custom database work..

WordPress is very easy to use as a CMS. It provide a GUI that allows them to create new pages and content with little knowledge of how the Web works required. You could then get a cheap hosting plan from a reliable web hosting provider like Hostgator for as little as a month. WordPress is very active and I believe open source so you don' have to worry about it disappearing on you. Hostgator is one of the largest webhosts in the world so the odds of them disappearing anytime soon is very small.

Or you could go with Wordpress' hosted solution and cut out the hosting provider altogether. It's free for the basic package.
