Capital Campaign Testimonials

“I am writing today to offer my strongest recommendation and endorsement of Stephen Anderson and AMI Church Consulting Services. Stephen has been extremely beneficial in helping Raleigh Road Baptist Church conduct our most recent campaign. Over the past 23 years, Raleigh Road Baptist Church has engaged in 8 previous campaigns. This one, however, was significantly different. We entered this campaign with the daunting task of raising funds for debt reduction. Stephen’s presentation to us in July 2009 convinced us that he was the one who understood the purpose of what we were trying to accomplish. He did not present himself as our “hire,” but as a genuine partner in helping us accomplish our goals.” In light of the many campaigns Raleigh Road Baptist Church has conducted, it is high praise indeed that THIS campaign is considered by many of our long time members to be the best campaign to date.” “I am pleased to give AMI Church Consulting Services my strongest recommendation.” Robert W. Pochek, Senior Pastor - Raleigh Road Baptist Church, Wilson, NC

“Anyone looking for an honest, accomplished expert at building successful capital campaigns for church construction/growth must contact AMI Church Consulting Services” Bernice Smoot , Nonprofit Sustainability Trainer/Coach, Saint Wall Street

“AMI Church Consulting Services as a Capital Campaign advisor does an excellent job of driving a proven process from beginning to end. AMICCS leverages Christian values as a foundation and guide to provide successful results. We could not be happier with the results of their leadership and guidance. It has truly been a pleasure to work with AMICCS and our organization would not hesitate to do business with them again.” Dan Armenta, Metrocrest Church, Coppell, TX

“When we started a new building project, I as Associate Pastor at Church of the Harvest realized that we were going to need help to gather the funds needed to make this project a reality. AMI Church Consulting Services came highly recommended from a great source and we were not disappointed. They laid out a detailed plan for a Capital Stewardship Campaign customized for our individual needs. AMICCS was an awesome resource and made things flow together like clock-work. I highly recommend using AMICCS services. I'm sure you too will find them to be an invaluable resource.” Rob Thomas, Church of the Harvest

“When we began our second capital campaign we new that we needed help, but were looking for an affordable solution. AMI Church Consulting Services were the answer to our need and became an invaluable resource. The time AMICCS spent with us onsite at the beginning of the campaign allowed them to really get to know us and to offer solutions that were unique to our situation. Their depth of insight added tremendous value to our church even though we had been through a capital campaign before. I would highly recommend AMICCS to any church looking for guidance regarding any of their stewardship needs.” Eric Sanzone Grace Bible Church, Virginia Beach VA

“I would not hesitate to refer your name to anyone who was looking for a consultant - I believe you offer a unique, and necessary, low cost alternative for churches.” (Brad Byers Marysville Grace Brethren Marysville, OH

“Through their expert guidance and strictly following the timeline they gave us, we saw God move through our congregation in an unprecedented way. Multiple families who had never embraced the principle of tithing made a commitment of obedience to God and even went beyond that to pledge their offerings toward our new building. The result? Not only do we have a congregation full of people on fire with the vision of the Lord burning in their hearts, we exceeded both our first and second goals and are at this time less than $50,000.00 away from our Miracle goal! “God is truly awesome and none of this would have been possible without the guidance and direction given through His servant, AMI Church Consulting Services. AMICCS came in and equipped us with training, materials, timelines, and most of all encouragement. They helped us strategize and conform the campaign to fit our church’s culture while constantly encouraging us to press to toward the mark and have faith in God and the process. Without hesitation I highly recommend this man of God to any church considering a stewardship campaign.” Bob Thomas Senior Pastor Church of the Harvest

“AMI Church Consulting Services is a pleasure to be around and extremely knowledgeable in the field of church construction. They love people and are gifted communicators. They asked us questions we never considered. They provided insight we would have overlooked. They redirected us from present paths that were unwise. From the beginning to the end of our campaign, they charted a clear course and the methods for successfully accomplishing it. With their advice, we marched forward by God’s grace with confidence, encouragement and prudence. Most of all, I appreciate their commitment to do things God’s way. They support the sufficiency of Scripture and honoring King Jesus above all else. They were a tremendous blessing for us. We would have been foolish to attempt something this big apart from a professional consultant. Having a church consultant and working with AMICCS come with my highest recommendation. Without a doubt, this was the wisest money we have invested.” Randy Smith Pastor/Teacher Grace Tabernacle Lake Como, NJ

“As a fellowship that had never undertaken a capital campaign, I think we all had reservations that such a thing would be a pressure, not a pleasure! Working with AMI Church Consulting Services turned out to be a wonderful, and blessed, surprise. AMICCS was patient, organized, guiding without being controlling, and always “on call.” They also kept the focus on this as part of our walk with God, showing us how a capital campaign was more than a program, it was one way God works out His purpose in His people. As a result we not only had a marvelously successful campaign, but we also grew both individually and corporately. I can heartily recommend AMICCS both professionally and personally. A year later they continue to be both a mentor and a brother. We are grateful to God for bringing them to our fellowship!” Wayne McDonald Metrocrest Community Church Coppel TX

“One thing I appreciate about AMI Church Consulting Services was their willingness to go out of their way to meet with us and advise us, always with a cheerful heart and a word of encouragement. And they were very helpful about linking us to the people who could help us. Also, our Capital Campaign was a healthy spiritually renewing experience, and AMICCS had a lot to do with that.” Frank Veneble Christ the King Moravian Church Durham NC

"I highly recommend the services of AMI Church Consulting Services. AMICCS was well received by our church family, bringing a wealth of helpful and pertinent information to the table. The money spent by the church for AMICCS’ professional help is really money invested in an extremely important process--money that is often far less than money potentially wasted on ill-informed building decisions made by inexperienced, but well-meaning, church members. It's just plain good stewardship of God's resources. Furthermore, AMICCS works so well with the pastor. They are on the pastor's team, often shielding the pastor from potential issues raised by members. They are willing to be the "target," thus helping protect the health of the church through what has the potential of being a very stressful time for any church. AMICCS has a solid biblical understanding of the mission of the church, and they bring that understanding along with a sincere spiritual commitment to Christ, and a genuine love for the pastor and the congregation to the process." Gary Burden Bethesda Baptist Church Clayton NC
