Christian
Architectural Assistance Association
In 1996, the Lord impressed on the heart of David L. Batie to use his architectural talents for the glory of God. Realizing that there are hundreds of churches without expertise in construction or having the financial capability to contract with an architect for architectural designs, Mr. Batie was led to establish the Christian Architectural Assistance Association. Using 1 Corinthians 3: 9-11 as the Cornerstone of faith, the creation of this ministry began.
1 Corinthians 3:9-11
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Building on the foundational teachings of Jesus Christ, it is the mission of the Christian Architectural Assistance Association to be a light to the world by glorifying the Lord through providing design and construction assistance so that Souls can be saved. Time is drawing near for Christ to come again. Souls must be saved!!
The Christian Architectural Assistance Association ministry was founded by David L. Batie,. Other architects and engineers have joined the ministry to work for the Lord. It is the prayer that as other Christian design and construction practitioners are made aware of the ministry that they will join in the work.

It is the mission of the Christian Architectural Assistance Association to provide Schematic, Preliminary Design, Preliminary Specifications, and initial building budget pricing for Bible-Believing churches financially unable to pay for architectural services. This also includes all Bible-Believing Missions Boards and Missionaries around the world. In addition, we will provide consulting services for Bible-Believing Christian churches that do not have the technical expertise in verifying current or expected construction projects.
This is a Faith Promised Ministry. We are performing this service to glorify our Lord. Any financial support to pay for the physical expenses of paper, ink, travel, telephone, etc. is strictly by faith promise giving. If churches are unable to support us, it does not matter. We will come and help. The Lord will provide for us.
Services:
Programming; Schematic Design; Preliminary Design; Outline Specifications; Building Code Studies; Preliminary Budgeting; Consulting Services
