Family of Christ Lutheran Church
Campaign Purpose
Family of Christ completed their strategic plan to move forward as the best church they could be, for God, their community and each other. They wanted to be able to achieve “excellence in worship.” And to share the love of Jesus with those outside of their community, neighbors and members. To do so, they identified needed improvements and developed their Foundation For Our Future campaign to address those needs.
Debt
Family of Christ’s debt had been barely manageable, causing them to cut programs and staff and preventing them from adding needed personnel, and adding or improving programs, services, and ministries. They needed to pay it off completely, but until then, they included it in their campaign plans in order to reduce it to a more manageable level.
Maintenance, & Renovation
Across the campus of Family of Christ, their facilities needed improvements. The capital improvement plans included everything from technology to furnishings to roofing and HVAC to parking lot repairs. They also sought funding for staffing additions and mission giving.
Campaign Success
“My God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
With the enthusiastic support of their community, Family of Christ surpassed their $2.4 million goal! The funds raised will support their important plans. It was a tremendous effort to achieve their “excellence in worship” goal.
Testimonials
“Our experience with Walsh & Associates at Family of Christ Lutheran Church has been exceptional from beginning to end. They listened carefully to our capital and operational needs, as well as designed a program to help reduce our congregational debt. Every step of the process was professional and aligned perfectly with their proposed timeline. We highly recommend Walsh & Associates. We thank them for all they did to bless and extend Christ’s kingdom.”
– Rev. Keith Grimm, Pastor
“I was very impressed with the format. It was set up to get the church leadership involved, which is very imperative for a successful campaign. Asking for support is very hard, but having the tools to show the congregation that this is their church home is the main goal. As a church, we need to reach the lost or those that are looking for a church home. I think we achieved the goal of knowing we need to reach out to the youth and our community. With the funds available, we can now proceed with excellence as Jesus would have us do.”
– Stan Jorgenson, Co-Chair
