"We chose Skiffington Architects, Ltd. to design our recently completed $8,000,000 Phase 2 Auditorium and Worship Center because they brought valuable Willow Creek Association Church knowledge and experience with them. They assisted our building team in designing a very practical solution-oriented facility that met all of our ministry requirements and was within our budget and timeframe. We are very happy with the well-planned flexibility and expandability of our new facility as our church continues to grow and we look to future additions.
We would recommend Skiffington Architects, Ltd. to any growing church who is looking for an architectural firm that listens well and will provide an excellent solution to expand their church facility and campus for future ministry development."

Dear Dave,

I want to thank you for your participation on the Regional Ministry facility team at Willow Creek. Your collaborative approach and attention to detail has been invaluable for developing facility plans and analyzing facility options. Your experience with Willow Creek as well as other fast growing, seeker-oriented churches enables you to understand our needs and the complexities associated with church designs. I look forward to serving together with you as we continue to explore possible locations for Regional Ministry Centers.

Sincerely,
Dave Morey - New Site Project Manager
Regional Ministries, Willow Creek Community Church - South Barrington, IL.

In my daily contact with Architects I have not run across anyone having your insight and understanding of the seeker-style church.

As a former Pastor of 15 years, I can say that Skiffington Architects understands the needs and challenges of the seeker-church movement. Because of this, coupled with nearly two decades of ministry involvement at Willow Creek, your integrity, and your passion for the local church, I will continue to recommend Skiffington Architects to seeker-style churches."

In Christ,
Rick Chappell - Church Products Consultant, Church Plaza Inc.

"We appreciate the experience and knowledge that Skiffington Architects Ltd. brought to us to design our new 450 seat (expandable to 1200 seats) Worship Center and Classroom facility. We would recommend them to any growing church that is looking to expand. Dave showed patience and a heart-felt commitment to our ministry as he assisted our building team in studying the feasibility of three different sites for our new building project over a four year period. His master plan showed us how to maximize our 10 acre site for phased future growth as well as an economical Phase one facility that meets our needs today. Dave was easy to work with, returned our calls promptly, and met all of our design and budgeting requirements in a creative way."
