Testimonials

“Dennis developed a church structure that reflects our theology of Christian community and our purpose and mission. He met with building committee incorporating our ideas and led a study of the historic relationship of architecture and baptism and the interrelationship of architecture and Christian faith. His excellent historical and liturgical background helped us to determine both beauty and function.… Dennis was a creative and cooperative asset and operated within our budget constraints.”

Phillip A. Hausknecht PHD, Pastor
Christ the Servant Lutheran Church, Henderson, Nevada
