In our service to churches, we are a
professional resource development and communications company. Current clients
include Catholic, Methodist, Greek Orthodox and Mennonite organizations although
the mix and number of clients changes all the time. In terms of sheer
experience, our consultants have worked with more
Catholic organizations than with any other
particular religion. We don't pretend to know
every nuance of the many forms of Christian worship in faith communities that
recognize stewardship as way of life. We succeed instead by partnering with you
to customize a strategic approach that blends seamlessly with the unique culture
of your church.
This distinction is important and is a benefit
to clients. We help you to formulate and deliver your message in a way
that maximizes the opportunity for a positive reception. The key to
communicating that message
is to address the needs and level of understanding of the person in
the pew, not the one at the pulpit. Simple but clear messages and an
invitation to action will bring results. We utilize professional
marketing techniques to assure that constituents have multiple opportunities to
respond after being challenged firmly but graciously to take some type of
action.
That action can be to commit to ordinary
stewardship through a deeper commitment to live their faith, to utilize their
talents in service to God, and to recognize the role of their financial support
in the advancement of ministries.
Alternately, that action might be focused more
on the needs of the Church, and not the individual, where capital dollars are
required to build new facilities or endow church operations. These campaigns are
a specialty of the firm and we have had great success in infusing stewardship
education into the process of raising extraordinary support.
How are we different? We utilize experienced
consultants, have developed processes that greatly reduce the amount of work
required of church staff, and provide computer and web-based support centers for
project activity. From the collection of commitment forms to multi-year pledge
redemption programs, we offer a full complement of support activities in
addition to our consulting services.
The most satisfying aspect of our work is the
relationship we develop with clients. With open hearts and open minds, we are
committed to serve our clients with all of our ability and to build positive
mutually beneficial working relationships.
