EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE
Barry Wilson Architecture is dedicated to the planning, programming, and designing of churches and their related ministries – both small and large. With over 25 years of experience working with over 100 churches and ministries, Barry understands the unique financial and aesthetic challenges congregations face with expanding ministries. Our mission is to use the full-spectrum of our architectural experience – both technical and artistic – to direct each ministry’s project so that 1) construction is completed within budget; 2) the result reflects and supports the needs of the congregation; and 3) the design and beauty of the structure glorify God.
COST CONSCIOUS
A well-planned project is both efficient and economical. As your architect, we will design energy-efficient buildings, select appropriate, durable materials and workmanship, and develop comprehensive drawings to make the contractor’s job easier – costing you less to build, maintain, and operate your ministry.
We are your advocate during the design and construction process, upholding your interests with the contractor. And we make sure that you clearly understand budget components from the beginning, and continually develop cost estimates with the church’s contractor for your review – all to ensure construction is managed wisely and completed within budget.
COMMITTED, PERSONAL SERVICE
Whether your ministry emphasis is Christian education, caring for the poor, missions, or reaching the unchurched in your community, Barry Wilson Architecture designs structures to enhance your work. By taking time to understand your individual mission, projected growth, programs, and activities, and by appreciating how your church functions today, we can design your new building to be both inviting and practical, as well as flexible enough to facilitate your mission’s purpose as it develops and evolves.
As a small, specialized firm, Barry Wilson Architecture provides each client individual, concentrated service with great attention to detail. Your church is not just a building, it’s a facility for ministry and a tool for service. It’s as important to Barry as it is to you.
“God is not indifferent to beauty. His creation, His nature, and His Word reveal that truth. Beauty can reside in simplicity and order. God has given you a message to proclaim, and your church should reflect these divine statements about you, your mission and your Lord. Your facilities should be distinctive and set apart, just as you are. Influencing your community to worship, contemplate, celebrate and serve. By giving creative attention to those architectural elements so important to churches, my goal is to always design buildings that are attractive, welcoming and especially inspiring.” — Barry A.
