Our Mission:
Green Arch Design Group is an architectural firm that is made up of a group of Christians who not only want to serve the Lord but also want to serve His people. When we design a church, we don’t see just a building - we see a ministry. Visit the
greenLIFEproject.
We not only want to help with the building process but we want to provide “big” church resources to small churches. We want to show these small churches that there are ways to have the same type of resources but on a smaller scale. We are doing this by providing free training classes in areas such as audio/visual classes.
We are also involved with several schools in our local area who are studying about architecture. We call this KIA - Kid’s In Architecture.Another thing that we are focusing on is “green” building and remodeling. There are many things that you can do to a home to make it more energy efficient without it draining your wallet.
We also promote “green” living. We do not take this to the extreme as some people do but there are many things that we can
ALL do to be better stewards of God’s earth. We have many posts on this website about recycling. That is one of the simplest things that you can do to help preserve the earth. There are many other things that you can do to live “green”.

Beyond the Green Corporation - BusinessWeek Cover Story
The above Cover Story by BusinessWeek does the best job of explaining Green Arch Design Group, LLC’s view of business. In a nut shell - Sustainability, for an architecture firm, should be about more than just green buildings. It should be about giving back to the community. Most of our community efforts center around the greenLIFEproject.Click on BusinessWeek Cover link above to view entire article. Click on the images above for Sustainability slide shows.

Pallavi Gogoi of BusinessWeek writes about the first major design overhaul in 30 years for the 51-year-old fast food giant. “What will the new McDonald’s look like? “Think iPod: clean lines, simplicity,” says Miologos. The signature mansard roof? History. “The big red roof looks too dated today,” says John Bricker, creative director at design firm Gensler’s brand-strategy arm, Studio 585.” - excerpt from the May 15, 2006 article in BusinessWeek.We think this is a great example of “green” because the company “has moved aggressively over the past three years to revamp its menu and attract a new breed of customer. It has added healthier items like premium salads targeted at women, and apple slices and skim milk for children.” - excerpt from the May 15, 2006 article in BusinessWeek.
In the interest of full disclosure, we at Green Arch Design Group, LLC are involved as an architecture firm in this facility makeover. We feel it is one of the most exciting series of projects we have ever been involved with.
