Professional Alliance

Determining the best professional to bring in on a project with can be difficult. Partners’ Professional Alliance helps congregations find reliable, professionals – from architects to stained glass artists – who specialize in historic religious properties.

Benefits of Membership

Working with a national audience of clergy, congregational leaders, design professionals and preservationists who care for older and historic sacred properties, Partners is often asked for names of firms specializing in some aspect of the restoration of religious buildings. Through its Professional Alliance membership program, Partners is able to give visibility to firms specializing in sacred place design, construction, preservation, conservation, maintenance, and fundraising.

• White papers demonstrating your firm’s services – to appear in our monthly ezine to members with a link to your website
