Your presbytery may require funds beyond
those available through annual mission giving. Therefore, a major funding
campaign may provide the resources to move your presbytery's mission vision from
plan to reality. Preparing for a financial campaign at the presbytery
level requires an intensive process of articulating the vision, determining and
prioritizing specific mission goals and assessing the presbytery's readiness
to proceed with a campaign strategy.
A presbytery tends to be diverse and often disconnected. Validating
the answers to the basic questions to prepare for a financial campaign takes
hard data. A feasibility study is a tool used to gather and analyze information
about the presbytery and its churches. The results of a feasibility study
will provide the foundation for designing a capital campaign that will capture
the interest and support of pastors and church members. |
