The Ministry of a Capital Campaign
EVENT DATE & DETAILSNote: This workshop takes place on Eastern Time (ET).
As ministries expand, community needs grow, and donors have deeper questions about the mission and impact of the congregation, capital campaigns provide a pivotal ministry moment to address the physical, pastoral, and outreach needs of any congregation.
A capital campaign is more than a process or a program. It is a ministry! It is an intentional act of faith, in response to a call from God, to do something extraordinary. This workshop will share stories and methods for discerning a call to a capital campaign, methods of organizing a campaign, and practical examples of how campaigns work in the modern congregation.
Participants will learn:
- Campaign discernment
- Gathering a Leadership Team
- Sharing the Needs of the Campaign
- Inviting Participation from the Congregation
- The importance of storytelling and thanking donors after the campaign
