Why Use Coleman Stewardship Services?

Why Use Coleman Stewardship Services?

The simple acrostic R.E.E.F. outlines why partnering with Coleman Stewardship Services makes sense.

Returns: Christian organizations or churches that use Coleman have greater returns.  The average church using a Coleman campaign raises 2 to 5 times as much money as an in-house campaign.  It is not that we are smarter than the people in your congregation.  But we offer expertise that most likely is absent in your pews.  Almost anyone can do what we do, with 30 years of experience.

Experience: Most churches do not have the experience to effectively lead a campaign. We have done over 600 campaigns.  Every minister preaches on giving occasionally, and most have taken part in a little fund raiser to send some kids to camp or help with the one time cost of a mission project.  But few leaders in the local church have every directed a church wide stewardship campaign.  

Efficiency: We will, in effect, become extra staff for your development office.  This allows you to focus on what you do best while outsourcing non-core competencies.In the 50 to 60 hour work week most pastor's really do not have time to develop an effective stewardship campaign. The mono-focus of a consultant helps avoid distractions. This will allow the leadership to remain focused on the vision and mission of your church.We do not do pastoral care, weddings, baptisms or funerals at your church

Flexibility:  If every church were alike then one stewardship training program would be all that is needed.  At Coleman we design each campaign with the congregation's, culture, ethos, history and vision in mind.  Giving is giving, but not all needs are the same.  We offer a three year major capital campaign for larger churches with larger needs.  We also offer a campaign developed specific for churches that are smaller but still have a vision and dream for ministry.
