Architecture Resource Group

Church buildings reflect our beliefs, values, and theological understanding, and affect our worship, ministry, and outreach to the community. The Architecture Resource Group (ARG) consists of architects who provide volunteer support to United Church congregations and other church ministries for a variety of projects.

All congregations and ministries considering a major renovation, addition, or new building are encouraged to access the expertise of a volunteer ARG architect during the planning stages. Read a one-page fact sheet [PDF: 1 p/109 KB] about the ARG, and learn who we are [PDF: 2 p/70 KB].
