I highly recommend Crosspointe Architects to any church searching for the right company to design the church of their dreams. Our personal experience with Steve and Becca was outstanding. Their knowledge and expertise in architecture, site planning, and interior design were exactly what we needed to create the church building we have today. The number one thing that stood out to us as pastors was that Steve and Becca CARED as much about our building, design, colors, functionality and community appeal as we did! They always took their time to understand what we were looking for, what the needs of our congregation were, and what 'feeling' we wanted people to have when they arrived.
