Under Construction Capital Campaign Complete Series

A capital campaign is about firmly celebrating the past, highlighting the present and sharing the hopes for the future ministries of the church or organization. That through capital improvements and programming expansions, it would help grow the church or organization and that it would touch the lives of many more people, grow more disciples; help to take God’s love into the world. A healthy and well-rounded capital campaign process easily runs 8-12 months, is strategically run, not rushed and has committed leadership. The capital campaign is centered on funding ministries and building projects that will help the growing of ministries to the next level; gifts are given one time or over a 3–5-year period.

There are some good companies who focus on specifically doing capital campaigns, some even focus exclusively on churches. If you want to raise millions of dollars and are prepared to spend easily more than $100,000 on the campaign, just for their services, then they will serve you well. On the other hand, if along with raising considerable resources for the future you’d also like to see personal growth, community engagement and excitement, reinvigorated purpose and mission, and growing legacy and endowment giving through community unity in worship series and daily devotional materials, then maybe doing it differently is something to consider. Whether you use a company or go on your own, this program will help you move towards accomplishing a successful campaign.

My belief has always been that a community that prays together, stays together. That is why I believe that it is imperative that in taking on such a huge endeavor takes not only praying and planning for the campaign, but also in preparing for the spirit to lead folks during the campaign by being focused on the same topics and readings. I’ve created an eight-week sermon series along with a seven-week devotional looking at the book of Nehemiah and how a normal everyday follower of God helped change the world. This series will help you to plant the seeds of the God dream that you have and invite your leaders, members and community to walk with you, allowing you to go deeper into how the kingdom of God is at the center of your vision and mission for the future.
