To move beyond present capabilities, growth often means sacrifice, and
improvement requires change. Churches worldwide experience this tension
between what is and what can be, and many struggle to bring God's vision
to reality, to find that open door.
Ten years ago, a group of concerned United Methodist laypersons and clergy realized their churches lacked quality fundraising assistance tailored to United Methodist beliefs, themes and visions. They developed Stewardship Resources for United Methodists to offer congregations excellent service, experience, consulting and on site follow-up visits, and to provide all these services at a lower cost than charged by for-profit fundraising companies. This method allows more money to remain in the local church rather than being paid to a fundraising company.
Stewardship Resources specializes in laying thorough groundwork, implementing and creating effective materials and cultivating successful stewardship campaigns, feasibility studies and strategy planning. All are stewardship journeys and are completely dependent upon the grace and guidance of God.
To date, Stewardship Resources has partnered with churches in more than 98
capital campaigns, feasibility studies and strategy programs and have
raised in excess of $90 million for local churches. |
