Phase two of a Capital Campaign is the Planning phase.

This phase is sometimes referred to as the “Silent Phase”, since most of the work is accomplished behind the scenes. Special campaign days may be planned, usually including a kick-off banquet. Publications are produced that will be utilized in keeping the congregation up to date. 

During this phase the heart of the church body will be given the opportunity to meet among themselves frequently. This is a great time for the team involved in planning to become committed to prayer for the entire capital stewardship effort. Remember, this is not just finances, it’s about stewardship. One pastor said to me about church finances, “It is not about money, God has unlimited resources, it’s about the faithfulness of his people. That makes the whole thing a spiritual issue.”
