**Fundraising Principles For Church Capital Stewardship Campaigns**.

After years of educating churches one at a time, James D Klote felt called to put
his experience and educational information into an easy to read, simple to follow
format. He wants churches to achieve their goals in mission in ministry.

This inside look at the complexities of a capital campaign offers the perspective
of his 20 years of experience with churches.

The anecdotes throughout the book highlight the lessons he has learned along the
way so you don’t have to learn them.

This easy to understand description of his practical and straightforward approach
to a capital campaign will make you wonder why it is not the most common approach
to fundraising. He describes in detail the process of conducting the campaign, complete
with sample campaign prayers.

However, he offers a warning not to attempt a campaign on your own if you have needs
greater than one times your annual giving.

Outlined are the most common mistakes made by churches attempting campaigns on their
own and those made by part-time fundraising consulting firms.

You will be convinced that there is more to a capital campaign than you might imagine
and the guidance of a full time consultant is the key to capital campaign success.
