Many times we are asked: “What is the benefit to using Church Plans For Less instead of a local architect? We are interested in your company, but my congregation is leaning toward a local firm.”

First and foremost, we suggest to all church boards and congregations, that your choice of an architect be directed by the Spirit, and not by personal choice. Try not to put the emphasis on friends or business acquaintances, but on prayer. Pray that God will grant you wisdom to lead you to the persons that will best assist you in your church growth.

Many churches go to a local architect that will design a “basic” church building. They, in many cases, have never designed a church. Experience in church design and the understanding of its ministry goals is paramount in choosing an architect. At Church Plans For Less, we feel that designing a “basic” church building plan is not enough. We feel that ministry needs are very important and need to be properly assessed, all the while keeping your church’s budgetary constraints in mind.

Assuredly pricing is a factor in the decision for many churches. By utilizing “previously designed, proven plans,” you eliminate the design development stages of your project. This timesaving step in the creation of your building is what helps us to cut your design cost by 50 to 60%, and to pass those savings on to you. We will provide you with the best structure you can build for your money.

The new church building will be the central gathering place for the congregation, the ‘heart’ of your ministry. Church Plans For Less understands that the “church” is the people and that the “building” is just a tool used for ministry. Our goal is to provide you with a quality tool for your ministry use. Because we are backed by 30 years of experience in designing and planning churches, with over 1000 completed projects to date, we feel we are properly equipped to formulate and assess your needs. We have an extensive reference list, and testimonial letters from pastors available for your review.

Church Plans For Less equates the choice of your architect to the choice of a heart surgeon. If you were having heart trouble, you would want a surgeon with many years of experience and many surgical procedures under his belt to perform your surgery. Your architect is the surgeon for your new church. Experience speaks for itself.

In today’s world of telephones, email, instant messaging, and internet web sites, no one is far away. A company you choose could be in your back yard, or half a world away. It is that company’s dedication to your needs that should weigh in your decision, not the location of its office. As your project develops, you will build a relationship with our company. It is Church Plans For Less’ personal involvement in each project that sets us apart from standard architecture firms.

If we may be of further assistance in answering any other questions for you or your congregation, feel free to call or email us any time.
