A Biblical Church Capital Campaign

Abundant Giving Church Capital Campaign

A Biblical Church Capital Campaign to Raise Money for Building, Renovation, or Debt Retirement

A professionally facilitated church capital campaign will typically raise between one and three times the church’s current annual income over a traditional 3-year giving period. A capital campaign is an important part of every church’s financial strategy, whether it is looking to raise money for construction or to retire debt.

A biblical capital campaign will Honor God and respect your congregation. A successful church capital campaign will first bear spiritual fruit, which leads to increased giving of the the members’ time, treasure and talents in supporting the church’s vision and mission.

These core components will be customized or scaled to the church, but all are a fundamental part of every campaign

The Core Components of Every Abundant Giving Church Capital Campaign:

First and foremost, every campaign is based on two fundamental pillars: The Word of God and Best Practices. Abundant Giving has as its central core verse 2 Corinthians 9:8, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” The most effective encouragement for sacrificial giving comes directly from the unchanging Word of God. Best practices are those ever changing methods of effectively communicating these spiritual truths in a relevant manner and that have proven themselves effective in exhorting sacrificial giving.

Our Church Capital Campaign – What’s Included

Comprehensive Campaign Manual and Resource Guide

Church Capital Campaign Materials Your campaign includes a very comprehensive “how-to” manuals on running a church capital campaign. Included in the campaign manual is a week-by-week, job-description-by-job-description, task-by-task outline of how to execute an effective capital campaign. The manual is provided as both a 3-ring binder as well as a digital file that has hyperlinks to extended information available on the Master Resource DVD.

As you can see from the table of contents, the manual covers everything from the concept and timeline of a campaign, organizing and job descriptions, to preaching and teaching. All the major milestone events and capital campaign tasks are well explained and documented.

Master Resource DVD’s

Your Abundant Giving church capital campaign includes 4 copies of the master resource DVD that may be duplicated or copied to the hard drive of your campaign directors computers. The DVD is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux computers. The DVD contains approximately 2.5GB (approximately 4 CD’s worth of data) including a digital copy of the manual, stewardship videos, sermons (notes, outlines, and audio), sample letters, communication articles, and much more.

Choice of Church Capital Campaign Themes

Choose a capital campaign theme from a library of nearly 300 professionally designed graphic themes and 150 logos (text theme and catch phrase). These logo’s and themes will be used in all your capital campaign communication materials.

Sample Sunday School / Small Group Materials

Included are two excellent teaching resources for either Sunday school or small groups. We include evaluation copies of these resources for your convenience. You may use either of these or study materials of your choosing. Also included the book Pastor Driven Stewardship, an excellent resource for the pastor and part of of the included Annual Stewardship program that is included as part of the capital campaign.

Examples From Other Campaigns

Included in your campaign are examples of materials from other church campaigns so you can better visualize what your campaign will produce as far as communication materials and see how other churches have handled the campaign as an idea generator for your church. Included are actual case statements and other standard communication materials, letters, and articles from other campaigns.

Unlimited Email and Phone Support

During the organizing, preparation, and execution of your church’s capital campaign, you receive unlimited support and coaching via phone and email, including weekly monitoring of tasks and timeline. This is in addition to the on-site training and support that is appropriate to your project. (see our options page for details).

Periodic Follow-up During Giving Period

In addition, you will receive regular periodic follow-up for the 3 years (typical) of the campaign giving period for problem solving, assisting the church in follow-up, discussion of new member assimilation, keeping the campaign alive for three years, or other questions the church may have.

On-site Training, Support, and Coaching

Last, but far from least, we will tailor the on-site coaching and assistance to match the church’s needs, experience, project complexity, confidence, and budget. There is no one-size-fits-all solution and we will work with you to develop an on-site coaching plan that is the right solution for your church. While Abundant Giving is so comprehensive it has been referred to as a capital campaign in a box, it is the application of the consultants experience that makes the campaign reach its maximum potential – there is just no substitute for experience.

Includes a Complete and Stand Alone Annual Stewardship Program

Also included in the capital campaign is a stand-alone annual stewardship program. One of the many challenges of a capital campaign is the ongoing preaching of stewardship. The included annual stewardship program, Dynamic Giving, is something your church will be able to use every year to effectively teach biblical giving. The entire annual stewardship program is included on the DVD.
