Background and Experience:

Since its creation in 1917 as the architectural service of the Southern Baptist Convention, Church Architecture has been dedicated to serving the more than 40,000 SBC-affiliated churches, as well as countless other churches representing a wide spectrum of denominations. At Church Architecture, our greatest asset is our experience.

Today, as a part of LifeWay Christian Resources, the world's largest publisher and provider of religious materials and services, we draw on that experience to provide a full range of architectural services, from needs assessment and master planning through the entire process of fund raising, design and construction.

Capital fund raising has recently been added to our available services. The experienced staff of the well-known Together We Build program now works under the umbrella of the Church Architecture department to help your church with the same high level of customized fund raising services they have been offering since the 1960s.

With every project, we strive to fulfill every aspect of a church's goals and needs, and our professional staff works closely with each church's leadership to ensure this. To date, Church Architecture has assisted in the planning and design of more than 100,000 church facilities to serve a wide range of church missions and ministries.

Our staff typically includes six Licensed Architects among:

• Five Professional Field Consultants
• Seven Technical and Support Staff
• Four Fund Raising Staff

Each person brings a strong sense of call to this work serving churches to our very unique service. Together, we offer a broad base of knowledge in both church leadership issues and architecture that is unmatched.

Our ministry and professional focus is summarized by our Vision Statement:

"Church Architecture helps individual churches achieve their mission by providing high-quality, high-value architectural services and resources in a timely and cost-effective manner."

Church Architecture is available for more than just Southern Baptist churches. Here is a listing of other denominations that Church Architecture has served to in the past:
