12 Apostles Parish
Project: capital campaign for new building
"Fr. Rowe led his congregation through a record breaking capital campaign, raising over
600% of annual giving in five-year pledges."
First United Methodist Church
Project: major renovation/expension project
After a readiness assessment indicated only 50% of members would contribute, First United Methodist Church delayed their capital campaign to educate its members. Six months later, nearly 80% of members pledged to the campaign and they raised $1.8 million - double their annual giving.
Holy Family Parish
Projects:
1st capital campaign-Debt reducation, land purchase
2nd capital campaign-build a church
