St Stephen’s Lutheran Church
Campaign Purpose
Over the years, St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church in West St. Paul, MN intentionally built their facilities to serve their needs. When they found that their building no longer supported their community and their work as they should they hired Walsh & Associates to help. Walsh led a Feasibility & Planning Study to get member’s input. The valuable insight gathered led directly to their Open Hearts Open Spaces, Intentionally Building Connections capital campaign.
St. Stephen’s community rallied and exceeded their campaign goal. The support will first provide the church with restroom improvements and a new boiler. Further plans include creating spaces for building connections in an expanded and more welcoming narthex and improved hospitality and small group gathering spaces.
Testimonials
“We need our facilities to intentionally provide our members, visitors, and the community with places to build connections with each other every time they come to church.”

Helping Churches Reach New Heights in their Capital Campaigns
Our mission is to be great stewards, to live up to the Parable of Talents and to bring out the best in those we serve. Our consistent and proven-to-be-successful approach to directing church capital campaigns helps assure this. We just work with churches, only do capital campaigns and ground them in prayer, scripture and sound stewardship teachings. Then we combine this with practical, proven-to-be-most-productive operating methods. This not only assures you of getting the best results and best return on your capital campaign investment financially, but also, that your church will grow spiritually and in community and will be more equipped and excited than ever about doing God’s will through the works of your church.
