Specific Services Related to Churches

In our experience, it takes organizations a long time to seek outside assistance when it comes to fundraising, this is especially true of churches.  Questions are often considered at length, "should we undertake a campaign, and if so, what kind?" or "how do we launch a new program knowing our budget is difficult to achieve already?"  Some of these preliminary questions lead churches to pick up the phone and learn more about how a consultant can help them.  We encourage you to do the same and learn how we can help you. 

The following concerns or needs may be especially applicable to your church:

• Your giving is down and you wonder why, and what can be done.  Can something be done to strengthen the giving?  The answer is yes, a well thought out, planned stewardship program will be beneficial to your church.
• Perhaps you've wondered how people might consider the church as part of their overall estate planning -- how can this be nurtured and developed?
• Maybe you have a building that needs restoration, rejuvenation or it's a new building that is needed.  A feasibility study may be a good first step.
• Volunteer enthusiam is low, you are finding it difficult to fill church leadership and other volunteer roles, meetings lack purpose and are maybe even dysfunctional.  Organizational reviews are an effective method to create a healthy volunteer environment.  Ministries with effective mandates, leaders with clear roles and responsibilities are some of the possible solutions.

All of these needs and more can be served by Crossroads Consulting.  Depending on your budget, flexibility with varying levels of services can be provided.
