Company History

• Founded in 1984 by Michael Walsh.
• Started specializing in and working solely with churches in 1991.

Locations

• Corporate offices in Burnsville, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis and St. Paul, with multiple area offices located throughout the United States.

Services

• We only work with churches and only do church capital campaigns and pre-campaign planning studies.
• This specialization has enabled us to be excellent at what we do and has contributed significantly to our ability to get better results than others who provide a wider array of services to a more diverse client group.

Staff

• We have a small, capable, committed, and Christian staff who see their work as a calling not just a career. Our work is an expression of our love for the Lord, and our heart to serve God’s Church.
• We bring a tremendous amount of experience to our work as well as a strong commitment to our faith. In short, we’re the exact kind of people you want working on your church campaign.

Our Success Principles

• We base our company and campaign operating philosophy on the biblical Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14–30), which implores us to be and do our best, to make the most of the gifts that God has given us and to strive to live up to our potential in all we do, especially all we do in God’s name.
• Consequently, we always advocate and are committed to operating in ways we know will bring out the best in those we serve, ways we know will work and serve churches the best.

In summary, we’re committed to great stewardship, to helping churches live up to their God-given potential and to getting the best results and return on investment possible from their campaigns.

Our Core Values

Not just what we do  –  it’s our mission and call

Every campaign we guide, business strategy we develop, call we make, and plan we create is rooted in our dedication to serving Christ’s Church. By living out this value, Walsh & Associates honors the Church’s vital role in our communities and strives to be a faithful partner in its mission.

Give Our Best

Not just about effort – it’s about excellence

We hold ourselves to the highest standards of professionalism and quality. The Parable of the Talents teaches us that we are entrusted with unique abilities and opportunities. Giving our best isn’t just personal; it’s about embracing a mindset of growth, responsibility, and service to others. When we give our best, we not only fulfill our potential but also contribute positively to the world around us, echoing the message of the parable to be faithful stewards of what we’ve been given.

Give Our Best is more than a phrase; whether we’re guiding a church or communicating with a colleague, we commit to giving nothing less than our absolute best.

Let us be known not just for what we achieve, but for how we achieve it — as responsible stewards of the gifts and resources we have received.

• Integrity: We conduct ourselves with honesty and transparency, earning the trust of all those we work with.
