LCEF partners with your congregation as you embark on a three-plus year journey of ministry expansion, building and stewardship.
Each process is unique, but the result is the same: Your congregation is joyfully and effectively fulfilling its purpose within the Kingdom.
Traditionally called capital campaigns, we have been guiding congregations through these processes for over 35 years. We’ve learned a lot over the decades and have come to operate under some clear and critical theories:
CAMPAIGNS ARE ABOUT MINISTRY, NOT MONEY
We aren’t saying financial commitments aren’t necessary; rather, we help frame the financials within the big picture: God is calling your congregation into the future and your members to commit to that future. Financial resources are part of that larger commitment.
EVERY CONGREGATION IS UNIQUE
Our process flow is time-tested but made flexible to fit your congregation. Our resource archive is vast and guaranteed to spark creativity in your teams.
WE NEED TO HEAR FROM CHRIST
Our process is designed so that at critical moments, each member hears the voice of Christ calling him or her to commit to the future He is laying before them. This is a critical difference between just a fundraiser and a ministry expansion campaign.
WE NEED TO HEAR FROM ONE ANOTHER
Campaigns are guided by our LCEF team and executed by your members. At various times, members are invited to speak out and encourage one another to take this step forward in commitment to the future God is placing before you.
WE DESIGN THE FULFILLMENT PHASE
The three years of commitment fulfillment require multiple ministry celebration events, reminder mini-campaigns and stewardship emphasis moments.
BINDERS ARE A BUST
Our campaigns use an online project management software, which gives your team instant access to all campaign materials, tasks and LCEF team members. It also allows us to continually customize each campaign instantly, which means no more tearing out binder pages and scribbling notes over outdated ideas!
