Dominate

Here is a new look at a capital campaign for a church!

Yesterday at Elevation we kicked off our DOMINATE campaign. I've been praying and preparing for this campaign pretty much all year, and I felt very strongly that we needed to intentionally turn people's perception of what a capital campaign is all about upside down.

So we kicked off the whole campaign by giving away $40,000 to our people yesterday. Yes, you heard me correctly: We began our first ever capital campaign by giving away roughly the equivalent of our 2007 weekly offering average. Every adult got an envelope with either $5, $10, $20, $50, or $100. And one participant in each of our five worship experiences actually received $1000.
