Move your ministry forward.
Ministries often need to raise financial support for projects that are holding faithful work back. Our experts guide, empower, and inspire your ministry to be and do more. Through our capital campaign service, on average, ministries meet or exceed their fundraising goal and become more unified in their work.
Framework
Doing something new or different can be a scary, daunting task. You are not alone. We'll provide you with the encouragement, expertise, and framework you need to succeed.
Timing
A capital fundraising campaign from start to finish can take 12 weeks or more to complete. We'll help you determine the best timeline fit for your ministry's calendar needs.
Project & Vision
New building. Renovations. Reduce debt. Whatever reason you have to raise money, we'll help you clearly identify the project, vision, and best way to communicate it to your donors.
Financial Goal
Not too high. Not too low. Your goal needs to be just right. Based on several factors, including feasibility study results, our consultant will guide you through the process to set an achievable goal.

"[Building and Capital Services Advisor Jim Michel] gave us a great feel for what our potential was. We had no idea how much we could raise, but knowing our congregation's size and annual giving, he was able to give us an estimate that helped us determine which projects to include in the campaign. Without his involvement, we don’t know where we would have been."
Mark McMichael
Co-chairman of capital campaign committee
Wakonda Christian Church, Des Moines, IA
"We have been working with [Building and Capital Services Advisor Jim Michel] since 2017. He has been a wonderful guide for so many years and his work with us has been invaluable! We had plans for a large expansion to our church building, only to have them put on hold because of the pandemic. Post-COVID we revised our plans to renovate our kitchen, fellowship hall, sanctuary, and outside grounds. Jim has been with us every step of the way. He's helped us listen to where the Spirit was leading us and ensured that our renovations will help us live out our vision and mission as a church to share the good news of Jesus Christ!"

"[Senior Director of Services Rev. Richard Williams] said, 'If you do this capital campaign right, it is going to grow your church and increase morale.' I felt skeptical about that, but after experiencing it, he was exactly right. Our members feel ownership over this campaign."

"You’re one of those gifts of our covenantal life that too many of us don’t START with. Grateful my congregation had [former President and CEO Belinda King] in the house long before I arrived in ‘17. What a great capital campaign with a huge project now concluded… and with amazing results! We now house a preschool and counselling center with room to spare. Plus, we are far along in repayment because your terms were so generous. Thankful for all of you!"
