Merit Construction Services

Churches

 
 

In the more than 20 church projects we have completed in the past 10 years, we have found that while we build churches, churches build relationships. The bonds that members create as they interact, worship, mourn and celebrate are the foundation for a community.

We see our role as facilitating those bonds. Successful partnership with all parties– architects, the community, and the church– lead to spaces that enable people to interact naturally and without barriers. To achieve this, we focus on creating places that are welcoming, warm, comfortable, sized correctly, and visually appealing. These places, like your church, attract people and are nurturing and flexible.

By partnering with your church early in the planning process, the team at Merit Construction is thoroughly equipped to develop your plans around your budget. With over 60 years in the industry and well-founded relationships with many local subcontractors, Merit’s team possesses a realistic understanding of the costs and issues that go into your project, and is able to guide you through them.

Our team is specifically trained and certified to work with religious institutions. Combining these resources and knowledge with the church’s vision for expansion and growth, our team helps yours to build a lasting future home.

Where to Start

Whether you’re just beginning to explore the possibilities of a new church facility, or are several months into the process, we’d love to be involved.
