Cargill Associates provides necessary experience and organization to make Building Community, Building Faith efficient and successful. The Board of Directors negotiated and approved a flat-fee contract with Cargill Associates because of their proven track record (30 years of experience) and the format that they had to offer (Vision Sessions, Capital Feasibility Study, and Spiritually-based Capital Stewardship Campaign). Our staff would not have the time to devote to such a concentrated effort, and our members are also drawn by the time demands of career, children, and volunteer responsibilities inside and outside the church. To have a successful campaign, we need it to be: spiritual, professional, and efficient, especially for this size. From a financial perspective, churches that use professional stewardship consultants average twice as much giving as when these same churches try to do it alone.
