Living Word United Methodist Church
Ellisville, MO    2008





We welcome your consideration of our qualifications for your church’s project. We have a strong background in the design of church facilities, having worked with many different types of congregations and parachurch organizations.

In addition to providing standard architectural services, we help church committees avoid the pitfalls unique to building a church facility. Our goal as fellow church members, is to help you manage the entire building process, making it a positive experience for your congregation.

We define our role as architects as one of serving our clients. It is our job to help your church produce a building that houses your ministries, looks and functions the way you want it to, and can be built within your budget.
We certainly welcome the opportunity to serve your church.
