In 1977, The Shirkey Company was founded for the specific purpose of providing a single-source professional planning and construction management service to church and related ministries. The mission of the firm is to capture the vision of the ministry and from a single-source, function as co-workers with the leaders, always keeping the best interest of the church as our primary commitment.

Any pastor, church leader or congregation approaching a building program for the first time, experiences the mixed emotions of excitement about the ministry growth and expansion and apprehension regarding all of the overwhelming unknowns in the planning-building process. Those with previous experience in this process would counsel you to do your research and commission the experts who understand your mission and demonstrate a history of trust and integrity with the best interest of the Church at heart.

Some typical unknows are, “where do we start”, “who do we consult”, “who can guide us most effectively that understands church planning and building”, “how do we establish the project budget”, “how do we avoid out of control and over budget issues” and “what is the church’s role and responsibility throughout the process?”

From vision to concept to completion, bringing all the relative components together, we have successfully demonstrated our skill and experience to nearly 1000 church clients.

We believe that a clear understanding of our philosophy of professional planning and construction management services will make clear our commitment to protect the best interest of the church and bring optimum results to your church project.

We are honored by those who have selected us to serve them in this capacity and would be honored to serve your congregation as well. Please contact us at your convenience to discuss your planning and construction needs.
