CAPITAL CAMPAIGNS HELP SITE Large, capital campaigns call for gifts that are far larger than most church members would normally share. That so many similar appeals have succeeded, often exceeding their targets, indicates that people of faith will, however give generously to a worthwhile cause or project if asked in the right way at the right time by the right person after the right preparation. The procedures and practices used in capital campaigns are different from those typically employed in a congregational financial stewardship program designed to cultivate gifts that support operating missional costs. Because of these differences, it is prudent to consult with a specialist before you make decisions related to a capital appeal. For small capital appeals, the Synod Stewardship Specialist will frequently provide sufficient leadership and coaching to assist in local efforts. In addition, he can provide resources and referrals to professional appeal directors for larger appeals. These professionals will assist you in your efforts. STEWARDSHIP KEY LEADERS
The program is a carefully designed ministry that strengthens congregations by helping them build their financial base and experience renewal in faith and mission. Stewardship Key Leader is a service of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America that has been used successfully for 25 years in more than 450 congregations. Direction is provided by leaders with capital fund raising training and extensive experience in stewardship ministry. Find additional resources at these sites: |
