Whether your capital campaign goal is modest or several million dollars, we work with you to create the most effective strategy. It all begins with the feasibility study.  The process entails much more than telling you how much your faith community can raise; it will enable you to assess objectively where you are, envision where you can go and strategically determine how to get there. Successful capital campaigns require effective planning and commitment to ongoing stewardship. Through vision planning, member conversations and quantitative data analysis, we collaborate with you to develop a roadmap for success. When the study is completed, church leadership will be equipped with a plan specifically designed for your faith community.

Church Capital Campaign Consulting & Management

Church capital campaigns are an intense effort to raise significant dollars in a specified period of time. Typically the money raised is to fund building a new church, expanding and renovating a current church or debt elimination. With that said, a church capital campaign can serve as a vehicle for any major initiative the faith community cannot fund through their annual operating budget. Effective and strategic planning takes skill and expertise to maximize fundraising outcomes. We can provide the assistance and guidance you need for a successful capital campaign.
