What is a Capital Campaign

Contrary to what you may think, a capital campaign isn’t really about money. Sure, financial commitments are involved, but a capital campaign is first and foremost about faith. A capital
campaign is based on the fact that a need exists, and that only God can adequately meet this need.
A capital campaign is a time when God’s people come together to take on a God-sized challenge.
The result is always a time of great spiritual growth! Download Newsletter Here

The Plan

We are confident that God will bless us greatly if we are faithful and catalyze our faith into action.
In order to have a successful campaign, we are excited to be partnering with Resource Services Inc. (RSI) for our upcoming Catalyst Campaign. RSI has assisted 9,000 Churches across America for the
last 40 years helping them raise almost 10 billion dollars. They bring a unique spiritual perspective and approach that will be Bible centered and prayerful. We are excited that our RSI consultant was raised in the Christian Church. His name is Mark Blackmore and he will be leading us through our campaign and assisting us over the next three years. Mark graduated from the Cincinnati Christian University in Cincinnati, Ohio. Mark and his wife Marianne live in Wilmington, NC. Mark has led over 145 campaigns with various churches and helped those churches raise almost a half a billion dollars in commitments.
He has represented RSI in partnering with some of the largest Christian Churches in America such as Traders Point Christian Church in Indianapolis, IN, Central Christian Church of the East Valley in Mesa, AZ, Connection Pointe Christian Church in Brownsburg, IN, as well as a number of church campaigns
in the state of Florida. Mark’s main role will be primarily behind the scenes working with our Leadership Team, Church Staff and providing experienced counsel throughout our campaign. As you get involved
on one of our teams in the campaign you will have the opportunity to meet Mark.

What are We Calling This?

We have chosen the name “Catalyst” for our campaign because a catalyst is a force that sets another force in action. We are confident that as we catalyze our faith toward the reduction of our debt, we will
be empowered to have an even greater impact on our community and our world. Catalyst is a chance
for us as individuals, and collectively as a Church, to really put our faith in action!
