We are experiencing challenges in changing times. Many of our congregations are diminishing in size. Now, more than ever, church leaders must discern God’s call for their future. This means looking at all aspects of church life…worship, fellowship and ministries to determine the best ways to grow both spiritually and numerically.
The bible encourages both planning and involvement of counsel in this process. Here are just a few:
Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision the people will parish.
Proverbs 15:22 Without counsel plans go wrong, with advisors they succeed.
Proverbs 19:20 Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom for the future.
Evans/Davis can assist you in customize a long-range plan, within your budget, to assist your church in this discernment/visioning exercise.
The firm can shepherd you through the entire development process…from vision planning, conducting a feasibility/ assessment study to providing guidance and counsel for both annual and capital campaigns. Evans/Davis can also assist in the development of Legacy Society or other planned-giving program.
The mission of Evans/Davis is to assist churches in setting hearts on fire for Christ. Please contact us so we can explore possibilities and discuss options.
