Why Choose BGW to Design & Build your Church?

The BGW concept was born out of a calling to help ministries address the fundamental flaws in the design and construction process, in which poor stewardship and conflict are far too common.

We believe there is a better way; one focused on delivering the highest level of stewardship, God-honoring relationships and intentional ministry focus. Our exclusive approach has been proven through 950+ ministry projects nationwide since 1997.

Innovative Design. Stewardship Driven.

There are many architectural firms that can provide creative design solutions. However, creative design alone can be problematic if it is simply an exercise to show fantastic possibilities that have little chance of getting funded. At BGW, we are invested in the buildings we design and want to see them built. Our mission is to not only translate your ministry vision through architecture, but to continually seek value and savings throughout the design process so that your project will move forward into construction.

Testimonials

Tom Cain, Allisonville Christian Church – Indianapolis, IN

We are so glad that we’re using BGW. They have such a good command and understanding of church design and construction strategies and the ability to articulate what they are thinking.

Dr. Vincent Robinson, Right Way Christian Center – Mobile, AL

The Preliminary Design with BGW was amazing. Our expectations were exceeded. Our vision was captured and it really built an excitement. I really don’t know what could have been done better. Looking forward to the next steps!

George Verkaik, Building Committee, Trinity EV Free Church – Eustis, FL

We were blown away with the creativity and all the extra things that BGW brings to the table, especially the idea of using our facility to pay for the upgrades as well as expose new people to the church. Our heads are still spinning with possibilities!

Steve Schellin, Senior Pastor Southland Community Church – Greenwood, IN

We initially worked with another architect who designed a building that was nearly two-times our budget. Fortunately, BGW came at just the right time. From our first design meeting, we knew we had chosen the right team to complete our project.
