Tips And Readiness For Church Capital Campaign

By Dominique Martin


Planning and developing for establishments would take a lot of preparation, whether it is for renovation or for construction. There are a lot of aspects you need to cover like finance, legalities, manpower, location planning, fundraising or marketing, endowments, maintenance, and also feasibility studies. There would be a lot to consider for this and whichever goal you might have whether it is for an organization, an agency, or a company.

Having this process executed would most likely need both art and science. A church capital campaign has a need of a mix of modern and traditional processes and methods in order for it to be established. The way this works is through fund raising so that there would be enough finances for the construction of the church within a specified time.

There is a certain difference with this campaign compared to every others like for universities and schools, museums, hospitals, etc. For this kind, it deals with the principle for Christian Stewardship. The foundation is built on that lifestyle which the responsibilities and the values are from the word of God.

This would all depend on how the procedures and planning are being done. The donors or givers have the most special role for this as well, and the time it would take to accomplish this would highly depend on them as well. There would be some who would commit then and there, but of course, it should be anticipated that there are those who need time to think, prioritize, and pray over their decisions.

There are a few mistakes that would be encountered during these phases. The committee needs to be equipped with a feasibility study or a congregational readiness survey in order to make a comprehensive plan in what essential elements that is needed. This is a project that is too important for anyone to apply blind faith on.

Having the project publicized too early would also contribute to the failure of the entire project. Most of the donations and funds that are being received during this face would be minimal and would not be enough to fully support everything. That is why it is very crucial to privately meet the members and other donors that have high contributions in order to solidify the foundation of the campaign.

This campaign should be seen from start to finish. A lot of people would think that there is more importance with publicity, but the legs of the entire project are in the first and last phases. These two would determine the complete success of the campaign. There would be more security if the start is established well, and there would be loyalty from the members if it finished well.

There is no valid certainty that the support and assistance that would be given is one hundred percent from the members of the church. This is why the committee should never make assumptions based on this and most likely lead to miscalculations. The risk is not worth it, so there needs to be additional planning for these situations or cases.

Referring and consulting a professional would be a sure way to make things smoother and a lot less riskier. Since this is a campaign that is entirely different from others, then it should be provided with adequate attention in order for it to succeed completely. The committee should be able to decide on which firm to refer to, since this can either make or break the whole process.
