A recent study of over 1,000 churches across the United States who had recently completed capital campaigns revealed that seemingly subtle differences in the ways various churches approached their campaigns yielded startling and significantly different campaign results. The study was conducted in June-July 2010 by Volkart May & Associates, a Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota based marketing and market research firm.
All Things New
"Our experience at Christ Church Christiana Hundred with your firm was outstanding!"The JDK&A consultant assigned to us quickly immersed himself in the day to day life of the parish, especially being present in and around Sunday and weekday worship where he was able to begin building relationships with a great range of folks in an easy and unstructured way. Working with our Vestry as we called out leadership for a significant capital campaign during a time of transition to a new rector required deeper wisdom, faithfulness, patience and encouragement. He was able to provide all of this, and a clear path of accountability, in a way that was honest and challenging to key leaders as we began the hard work of personal visits with parishioners. His strong theological understandings of Christian stewardship also helped to provide a framework for challenging our membership around their giving to our annual mission budget as well.
