Our Experience with Presbyterian Churches

At Mark Davy & Associates, we understand the Presbyterian leadership structure and the important role of the Session, committees, and congregational approval in major decisions. Successful capital campaigns in Presbyterian churches require careful planning, clear communication, and a process that builds trust and consensus across the congregation.

With over 35 years of experience, we help Presbyterian churches conduct feasibility studies and capital campaigns that are organized, thoughtful, and well-supported by the congregation.

Common Campaign Priorities for Presbyterian Churches

While each congregation has unique goals, many Presbyterian churches conduct capital campaigns to address priorities such as:

• Facility renovations and deferred maintenance

• Improving accessibility and welcoming spaces

• Debt reduction or elimination

• Expanding ministry and mission programs

• Updating education and fellowship spaces

• Preparing the church for future generations

A capital campaign provides an opportunity to strengthen both the church’s facilities and its long-term financial health.
