800 church related projects in the eastern half of the United States.
We have done projects of various sizes for virtually every Christian

to determine needs and wants.
Our firm was founded in 1965 as G.E. Associates, Inc., Architects.
In 1979 the firm was purchased by Clifford Hull, Douglas Stephens,
Donald Durance (retired July 2001), and Charles Taylor. A year later
the name was changed to Hull-Stephens and Associates to give the
firm a more personal character, and to indicate a personal commitment.
Mark Baldridge became a stockholder in 2002.

have used our services for as many as eight projects.
