We work with clients to make educated, good decisions. We’re not here to push a sale. We want to make sure this is the right move. Our mission is not to oversell. We’re realistic and not just out to sell churches. We want to make sure those churches are sustainable.” – Rob Malone, President, Malone Church Solutions. Rob’s leadership abilities combined with a strong work ethic, entrepreneurial spirit, and absolute dedication to Christ prompted him, in June 2006, to establish a new building division, Malone Building Solutions.  As the only certified church consultants in the St. Louis area, Rob and his brother, Marty, have pioneered a new approach to the traditional Design/Build model. The new model is called Pure Design/Build, which focuses on the ability to financially assess positive growth in a “healthy” manner. Rob apprenticed for his father, Mel, for many years. He briefly took a job as a reporter at the Belleville News-Democrat, Belleville, IL. With the family business rapidly expanding, Rob soon realized he preferred to build structures rather than sentences. Today, he plans and directs all aspects of the company's policies, objectives and initiatives. Rob is a Certified Church Consultant through the National Association of Church Design Builders (NACDB) program. He is married with two daughters, a son, and three grandchildren.

Marty began his career as an apprentice studying under his father, brother, and a team of expert builders. Marty has always enjoyed challenging himself, as proven by the fact that at the age of 16, Marty submitted Mt Everest after 2 attempts the previous year. Today, he oversees day-to-day operations at Malone Church Solutions, works to improve processes and procedures and believes in a hands-on approach with clients. He is responsible for business and sales strategy as well as new business development.

You always knew where you stood with Mel Malone.” – Rob Malone, President, Malone Church Solutions. Mel Malone learned the meaning of entrepreneurship and hard work in Washington Park, East St. Louis, where he was raised. He was a carpenter and a union man, with a strong work ethic and four children to support. Through the years, he worked for many companies, consistently moving upwards from carpenter to superintendent to co-owner of MK Construction. In 1976, he started his own company, Malone Design & Construction, from the basement of his Fairview Heights, IL, home. Here, he worked to build a solid foundation of honesty and hard work that earned the family-run business the reputation it has today as residential and commercial builders. Mel was named “Best Contractor of the Year,’ for three years and earned 15 safety awards. He passed away in 1999.
