What Others Say

"I wish to express our pleasure with the work of PathWay Lutheran Ministries. This is the second time we have used their expertise in building a commitment to expand our church facilities and enlarge our vision of stewardship . . . we are elated that our goal of $2 million not only has been met, but has been exceeded by almost twenty-five percent. This is a huge step forward towards the financing of our major sanctuary. We will always be grateful for the assistance given our people to realize our goals and our gifts." - Community Lutheran Church, Escondido, California

"On behalf of our family at St. Paul Lutheran Church, I want to thank you for your leadership and encouragement during our Embrace It! capital campaign. The spiritual emphasis was most important to us and we were not disappointed. Our worship attendance and attendance at Adult Bible Class continues to grow. We were especially uplifted by the Bible Studies and the Prayer Vigils. Because of the positive feedback for the studies and the vigils we are planning to continue those events in the months and years to come." - St. Paul Lutheran Church, Ankeny, Iowa |

"As we began the work of selecting a company to help us through a capital fund campaign we were led to consider of primary importance the spiritual emphasis of this undertaking. From the first contact we were led to see the high level of spirituality and faith of those associated with PathWay. Every representative, every contact, every meeting, every part of the campaign is Spirit-driven . . . Personally I also appreciated the very Gospel-centered approach used by PathWay, one which I pray will continue to be a blessing to God's People here at St. Paul." - St. Paul Lutheran Church, Bay City, Michigan
"We're thankful for the leadership training PLM provided . . . We're thankful for the personal touch we felt from you . . . We're thankful for the pledges that were made. Like I mentioned, our 53 year old congregation has never experienced a capital stewardship campaign. How would the people respond? We were blown away. We had no idea what to expect, but we are incredibly blessed by the pledges that have been received." - Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Healdsburg, California
"The blessings from our involvement in the PathWay process will benefit us in years to come. Not only did God's people respond in a very generous way to the monetary portion of the campaign, but they continue to provide leadership and show spiritual growth in many ways within our congregation." - Our Savior Lutheran Church, Denison, Iowa
"We engaged PathWay Lutheran Ministries to help us several years ago for our first campaign when we were building our Christian Life Center and our pledges topped even our biggest goal of $1.5 million dollars by over $100,000 . . . We then hired PathWay again for another 3 - year campaign, which began last fall. Realizing debt reduction is the most difficult type of campaign, we were pleased when we received donations and commitments of a little over $1,000,000, when combining the summer program with the Connected in Christ campaign." - Lamb of God Lutheran Church, Humble, Texas
"What impressed us the most was PathWay's attention to the spiritual aspects of stewardship. Our congregtion grew spiritually in the time of the campaign, especially in the area of prayer. Activities like prayer vigils, all-congregation Bible Studies, and fellowship events were things that should have happened anyway, but probably would not have happened without the PathWay program." - Concordia Lutheran Church, Chula Vista, California

"Your strong emphasis upon 'spiritual growth' rather than 'fund raising' is what makes your ministry so special. I have already highly recommended PathWay Lutheran Ministries to a couple of congregation." - Peace Lutheran Church, Columbus, Nebraska
"In my twenty-five years as a member of Immanuel I have never seen so many 'spiritually happy, growing' members as during the past few months with PathWay Lutheran Ministries." - Dr. Doug Meyer, Immanuel Lutheran, Charleston, Illinois
"Every so often you experience something that leaves an everlasting impression. In this case it was PathWay. They gave our congregation the focus it needed but PathWay aided in solidifying our commitment to move forward." - Our Savior Lutheran Church, Lan Leandro, California
"I am convinced that our fund raising attempt was doomed to fail without your leadership. Our attempts to reduce the Christian Activity Center debt was a struggle at best. PathWay has put us on track. From the initial committee selection to the congregational dinner, you were there. I am impressed. If asked, I will recomment PathWay to any church thinking of growing in their outreach for God. You have a convincing program. Thanks for all the help, the leadership and motivation you provided us. - Richard J. Nissing, Immanual Lutheran Church and School, Wentzville, Missouri

"We had no specific dollar amount as a goal, and our building proposals were only in the preliminary stages. Our goal was to enhance the stewardship life of the members of the congregation. I firmly believe that the stewardship giving level at St. John was enhanced as a result of the effort. The involvement of dozens of people in the program was probably the most measurable success. The congregation did adopt a Master Plan for the building project which would ultimately total $10,000,000 dollars." - Rev. Fred C. Gersch, St. John Lutheran, Seward, Nebraska
"We have received pledges over the three year period for more than twice our annual budget and these gifts are over and above the regular budget." - St. John Lutheran Church, Beaumont, Texas
"I have been through three other campaigns to raise money for building programs. I did not want to go through the same style again. Your promises of spiritual renewal came to fruition through this campaign, 'Preparing a Place.' Increases in attendance and giving during the campaign took place and continue even now. With not the slightest hesitation, I would recomment PathWay Lutheran Ministries in terms of cost, personnel, spiritual renewal, and the insights it has given to aid the ministry and mission of Bethany Lutheran Church." - Rev. Walter H. Harms, Bethany Lutheran, Austin ,Texas
