Walsh & Associates is Driven by Three Core Values

Serve the Church

“Serve the Church” is not just a core value at Walsh & Associates; it’s our mission and call.

We are passionately committed to supporting and empowering the local Church and its mission through our work. Every business strategy we develop, every campaign we guide, every call we make, and every plan, graphic, and video we create is rooted in our dedication to serving Christ’s church.

For us, “Serve the Church” means:

• Understanding: We take the time to truly understand the needs and project goals of the Church and its leaders.
• Empowerment: We provide tools, processes, and expertise that enable the Church to flourish and do Christ’s work in the world. 
• Excellence: We strive to deliver exceptional service, exceeding expectations to further the Church’s mission. 

By living out this value, Walsh & Associates honors the vital role the Church plays in our communities and strives to be a faithful partner in its mission.

Give Our Best

“Give Our Best” is not just about effort; it’s about excellence at every turn.

At Walsh & Associates, we must 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 about personal gain; 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.

For us, “Give Our Best” means:

• Commitment: We are thoughtful and intentional in our work. We meet and exceed expectations so churches see extraordinary results. 

• Continuous Improvement: We embrace a culture of growth, always seeking to enhance our skills and knowledge. 

• Collaboration: We recognize that our best work is achieved together, leveraging the diverse talents and perspectives of our team. 

“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.

Be Wise Stewards

“Be Wise Stewards” is a value that guides our decisions and shapes our work.

We recognize the importance of responsibility in everything we do. Whether it’s managing finances, resources, or relationships, we approach our work with a focus on long-term impact and ethical practices. 

For us, “Be Wise Stewards” means:

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

• Sustainability: We consider the impact of our actions, striving for balance and longevity.

• Efficiency: We optimize resources, minimizing waste and maximizing value for our clients, as well as our company.

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.

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.
