Capital Funding Services

Capital Funding Services will develop a capital stewardship campaign designed for your congregation or organization.

Capital Funding Services will test financial support, set priorities, identify leadership and discover potential corporate gifts. CFS will guide all aspects of the process, including public relations, developing materials, conducting surveys, and targeting constituent groups.

Demographic Services

LCEF's "In Our Community" Demographic Study combines updated census data, marketing research data, and religious survey data to give you a complete and comprehensive look at the people in your community.

More than a collection of statistical tables, "In Our Community" includes analysis tools and resources to help you get the most use out of the results.

For more information about options, pricing, and how to order, download the "In Our Community" product information booklet (includes order form).
Mailing List Service
LCEF's "Neighbor to Neighbor" Mailing List Service uses data from Claritas, Inc., a leader in providing demographic information. This data has been used to classify households under a broad range of household types, called "lifestyle segments." Each segment has unique social, economic, family, buying/spending characteristics that distinguish it from the others.

For more information about mailing list options, pricing, restrictions, and how to order, download the "Neighbor to Neighbor" product information booklet (includes order form).

Strategic Ministry Planning

Since 1996, Strategic Ministry Planning (SMP) facilitators have helped congregations make good decisions about land, facilities, staffing, programs, relationships, and resources for the Body of Christ.

Consecrated Stewards

Consecrated Stewards is a stewardship education emphasis which allows your congregation to stop talking money and start talking ministry. This program helps congregations educate their members to be Christian stewards while increasing annual envelope giving. Easy to organize and implement, this program can be used any time of they year because it is not tied to a budget.
For more information, contact the Northern Illinois District Consecrated Stewards Coordinator, Sue Green .
