That’s right.

We are already beginning the planning process for Spring 2019 capital campaigns.

To help churches prepare for this journey of generosity we recently created a new ebook entitled Cultivate: How to Prepare NOW for a Successful Capital Campaign.

Cultivate – Ebook

To give you a taste of what you will learn, the following are four goals any church, regardless of denomination, geographic region, culture or ministry should have in a capital campaign:

1. Maximum Dollars

• Capital campaigns are not about the money, but why are maximum dollars so important?

• Because maximum dollars allow you to facilitate more of what God is doing and wants to do in your church.

2. Maximum Participation

• If you read 1 Chronicles 28 and 29, you see that successful capital campaigns are spiritual journeys of generosity, not fundraisers.

• You want as many people participating in the campaign as possible because if they do their lives will be changed as they trust Jesus through a season of sacrifice.

3. Expanded Leadership Base

• Regardless of what your project is, you are ultimately taking your church through a capital campaign so that ministry can expand and impact more lives.

• However, as you seek to expand your ministry you will need more people to make that ministry happen, so we encourage you to leverage the capital campaign as a time to onboard new leaders into serving roles.

• Otherwise, you will experience initial expansion and then contraction.

4. Personal Stories or Testimonies of What God Did During the Campaign

• Ten years from now, your people likely will not remember how much they gave in your capital campaign.  

• However, they will never forget what God did in their lives as they trusted him through a season of sacrifice.

Finally, please know we would be honored to come alongside you and assist in this process.
