Christ Community Church in Shawnee was looking to expand their existing facility to create more space for their growing congregation. While the church continues regular worship services, we are working to build a new worship center, student center and lobby area.

Currently, walls are being framed and HVAC, plumbing and electrical rough-in is underway.

Stay tuned for more updates as these new spaces take shape!

We are proud to announce that our President and CEO, Darin Heyen, has been appointed by Archbishop, Shawn McKnight, to the newly formed Archdiocesan Building Commission of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas!

The 13-member commission of industry experts was established to advise Archbishop McKnight on construction, property and building needs across the archdiocese and to guide parishes on major projects for growing Catholic communities. Darin is one of three members appointed for their construction expertise.

For more than three decades, Darin has been a leader in the construction industry with a unique depth of experience in church construction. His understanding of how sacred spaces are planned, funded, built and maintained will be valuable as the commission reviews major projects throughout the archdiocese.

Please join us in congratulating Darin and thanking him for his continued leadership and service to our community!

The commission met for the first time on Aug. 5.

Last weekend, Westside Family Church celebrated the opening of their new Westside Family Care and Counseling Center!

With an established counseling program that serves thousands each year, Westside needed more space to meet the growing demand for counseling and care. Working with Mantel Teter, we built this two-story, 20,000 square-foot building to provide new offices, counseling spaces and classrooms.

We're proud to have been a part of bringing this building to life that is dedicated to expanding access to mental health care and to support Westside's mission of healing the community.

Partnered with DRAW Architecture + Urban Design, LLC, we transformed Kansas City's only remaining Jewish synagogue: The New Reform Temple. While the congregation continued operations, we renovated this three-story building which included the re-orientation of their worship room.

Transforming three floors of Kansas City’s only remaining Jewish synagogue required equal measures of technical skill, cultural sensitivity, and careful coordination to complete while the congregation continued to use the building.

The second phase of renovations at Village Presbyterian Church's Antioch campus are nearly complete!

Work has included constructing a new stage, installing new flooring, AVL system, and reinstalling their refinished pews.

Staying open throughout construction has been a priority for the church, so while we've been working in their sanctuary, they have been holding services in their Fellowship Hall which we renovated in phase one.
