Church Experience/Philosophy

DJ has a long history of working with churches around the Michiana area.  We have completed over 60 church projects in the past several years.

At DJ, our passion is to help churches find the right facility solutions to their ministry challenges, not just build a building.  As we strive to remain on the cutting edge of the issues churches face in today's environment, we also understand that no two churches do their ministry the same way, and their building needs to reflect that.

Whether your church is dealing with overcrowding, an outdated facility, or finding  a new place to call home, we can help you solidify your vision and indentify the best route to enable your facility to help you reach your ministry goals.

NACDB Membership

DJ is a member of the National Association of Church Design Builders (NACDB).  The NACDB is a nationwide association of firms that exists to help churches evaluate their facility needs.

The NACDB is a valuable resource for churches considering building projects of any size and type.  It provides a wealth of information pertaining to project scope, similar project costs, important questions to ask, and more.  To learn more about what the NACDB has to offer, please visit their website at www.nacdb.com.

Certified Church Consultants

Enos Yoder, DJ Manager of Business Development, and Adam Tohulka, Preconstruction Project Manager, are both Certified Church Consultants through the NACDB.  They are uniquely qualified to help churches assess their facility needs and find solutions that best match their ministry goals.  To earn this title, they each completed a three-day training session at NACDB headquarters in Dallas, TX as well as an extensive thesis pertaining to working through real-life facility/ministry issues that churches face.

Enos believes the training and certification process have equipped both he and Adam to provide the best information possible to DJ's church clients.  "It's important that when we help a church evaluate their facility for effective ministry use, that we explore the creative and simple ideas before the complex and costly ones," he explains. "Our goal is to help a church only build what is truly needed and prevent facilities from holding ministry efforts hostage."

Enos is an active, 30-year member of Sugar Grove Church and has served extensively on the Elder and Deacon Boards along with positions as teacher and stewardship campaign chair.  Adam attends New Life Church and is involved with Habitat for Humanity.

Church Roundtables         

Our efforts to serve churches also involve the bi-annual Church Roundtable seminars we host in partnership with Church Growth Services, a stewardship company out of South Bend.  The seminars are designed to help churches find solutions to the needs of growing ministries and include one-on-one time with both DJ and Church Growth Services.
