Communication Has Shifted from One Size Fits All to Multi Channel
Messaging
Church campaigns used to be simple. After all, the people you were trying to reach were
all together every Sunday. A nice brochure, a few sermons on stewardship, an inspiring
presentation from the platform, andvoilapass the plate and tally the pledges, you
were done!
Churches today are more transient. People are more apt to come and go. Its not unusual
for families to split their time between churches these days. Wealthier congregants may
travel frequently or have a second home and may miss services for large stretches.
Church members are also increasingly dispersed across a diversity of groupsyoung
adults, seniors, families, college aged, singles, etc.; its increasingly rare for a
congregation to fellowship together at a single event. You
must make sure that the vision for the campaign is
messaged in ways that are appropriate for each of these
groups.
It used to be that when you wanted to communicate
something to everyone in your church, you would make an
announcement from the platform and highlight it in the
bulletin. Today, church communications are much more
complex, across a myriad of channels and multiple types of
media intentionally focused on various groups. Personal
presentations, printed materials, video, website, email,
social media; all must be carefully conceived, produced,
and coordinated to ensure that the message you want to
convey gets across to everyone in your church who you want to hear it.

charities were discretionary. Not anymore. Whether you agree with it or not, more and

Many banks instituted a hiatus on new loans, some are now just beginning to ease
up.
Many churches that need to expand facilities are having a difficult time finding
financing.
The days of easy money are over, at least for now. Far fewer banks are willing to lend to
churches today, and those that do have strict requirements. Churches are wisely much
more cautious about taking on debt today as well. In this environment a capital
campaign is no longer a luxury or an afterthought, but rather a critical part of what will
be needed to transform your vision into reality.
The times they are achanging, and in changing times you want to rely on experienced
counsel to help guide you through your churchs campaign. You only get one chance to
do it right. With so much at stake, most churches wisely choose to retain a capital
campaign consulting firm to navigate todays complex environment and to guide their
church capital campaign through to a successful completion.
