I love it when people object to a capital campaign because they don't see the term in the scriptures. It presents a wonderful teaching opportunity on a topic that is very dear to God, the stewardship of our money. I am quick to let people know that the word "trinity" does not appear anywhere in the scriptures, yet it is a fundamental doctrine of Christianity.
Whether you are trying to raise money for construction, renovation, purchasing land, or retiring debt; in almost every case the church will need to execute a biblical capital campaign to help raise money. Prior to embarking on a campaign, the church may be advised to first conduct a capital campaign feasibility study to assess congregational readiness and support, identify financial goals, and begin to create support for the campaign. A study will uncover potential issues and help optimize the results before embarking on the active phase of the campaign.
Abundant Giving is unique in that it provides a wide range of church capital campaign delivery options and flexible pricing models. These campaign options allow you to get the best capital fundraising solution to meet your church's unique needs and budget.
When preparing for a church capital campaign, time is your friend. Time is a critical factor in taking your church capital campaign from good to great. Depending on the size of the church, it can take 3 to as much as 12 months to give yourself (and the church) time to prepare for and execute a capital campaign.
It is almost easier to define what is not included in the Abundant Giving Capital campaign. What is not included in the fixed price is postage and printing costs, expenses related to a kick-off event/banquet, or optional things like web site design or video production. Everything else you need to have a spiritually and financially productive campaign is included in our fixed price package.
