“Carter Hord and his excellent team of associates worked with Kingsway Christian Church for almost seven years…Carter’s staff painstakingly held true to the intent of the design and details all the while understanding and acknowledging our budget which we met both in time and dollars spent. I highly value Hord Architects’ work ethic, patience, faith, loyalty, and commitment to creating a profound place of worship.”

“Thank you for the wonderful job you did on our new building. The congregation is thrilled with the way it solved our circulation problems and provided an attractive face to the West side of the campus. I have had several calls from local residents complimenting the view of the new building from Germantown Road. Linking the new addition to our three older buildings was a difficult task but you had great vision in the master plan stage to make it work correctly.”

“Thank you so much for the superb planning and execution of our Westminster Academy bathroom remodeling. While this is a small project by your standards, we felt as though we received top of the line service and care. The project started on time, finished on time, and was not disruptive to our summer programs and training. Most importantly, we are thrilled with the end product! The students and staff love the work you have done and the look of the new restrooms. Everything was accomplished with craftsmanship and care which is clearly reflected in the final product. We sincerely appreciate your guidance to us and patience with us. We look forward to future partnerships.”
