Smyrna Baptist Church Petersburg, Virginia

Smyrna Baptist Church in Petersburg Virginia has chosen Church Development Services LLC (CDS) of Virginia Beach to design and construct their new facility.  The building will be a multi-purpose facility of over 24,000 square feet.  The original “lead” came from one of the trade sub-contractors who is working with CDS on the construction project for Pine Grove Baptist Church in Petersburg, VA.  The tradesman liked the way CDS was conducting the business in Petersburg, VA and he suggested that CDS contact the Senior Pastor at Smyrna Baptist since this tradesman attended Symrna Baptist and he knew his church was in discussions with several architectural and construction firms.  After Glen Trematore, principal at CDS, met with the leadership team at Smyrna Baptist Church, the church leadership selected CDS to help them with the project.  CDS is providing the architectural plans and the construction management services to Smyrna Baptist Church.
