Pastor Jeff Gunderman

“I had heard horror stories about fundraising organizations that strongarmed people and created headaches for church leaders long after they were gone. My experience with the team at CGS was the exact opposite. CGS trains your people to do the actual work of the campaign. My congregation has grown spiritually throughout this process. New leaders have been identified, teams have been energized, and God has been glorified through the process. CGS's emphasis on stewardship of life is biblical, and I can see the fruit of our interaction with them each Sunday.”

Berlin Baptist Church - Marne, MI

Pastor Jack McClelland

“It is not an overstatement to say that everyone in our church who participated in the campaign has grown in our relationships with Christ and become more committed to obeying Him in every aspect of our lives. I never would have believed it without experiencing it, but our capital campaign has been the single most spiritually formative experience I have ever seen a congregation go through. The Lord used CGS to make help make it happen. They helped us structure the matching gift and our campaign strategy in such a way to call people into greater generosity without making them feel guilty. That's a miracle in itself!”

Fredericksburg Presbyterian Church, Fredericksburg, OH

Pastor Tim Graham

"By the time we finished, we were elated with our capital campaign. We achieved our goal, and we are super excited about it. It has created all kinds of excitement and momentum about the things that we are going to accomplish. And it certainly gives us a light towards the future. If we encounter the opportunity for another capital campaign, CGS will be the first people we call."
