12 Apostles Parish

A new parish in a small town, the congregation was growing rapidly and needed a worship space they could call their own. Fr. Rowe was a former engineer and knew well the value of systems that were well thought out and tested rigorously.

Fr. Rowe selected Church Development to manage their campaign because the stewardship- based capital campaign system they use is based on research about giving patterns from churches across the United States. Fr. Rowe led his congregation through a record breaking capital campaign, raising over 600% of annual giving in five-year pledges.

One of the most spectacular elements of the campaign was that this mild-mannered priest was able to get the land donated for the new church by a parishioner and her Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) husband!
