TC Ministries is proud to include this recommendation by a pastor in Parrish Florida for the great work of Rick Vilardo at Parrish UMC in a capital campaign. Congratulations, Rick, on your excellent and faithful work!

When facing the prospect of our first significant capital campaign ... we decided to hire Transforming Christian Ministries. It was a decision we have not regretted. Rick Vilardo was our consultant throughout the process, guiding us through the selection of team leaders, coaching our teams, and customizing the program to the uniqueness of our congregation... Rick was regularly on-site to meet with me and guide our leaders through the entire campaign.

Most importantly, Rick grounds the campaign on the mission and vision of the church and who we are called to be in Christ. From day one the campaign was rooted in prayer, outreach, and a Biblical model of stewardship. I am certain that our campaign would have been far less impactful without the guidance and wisdom of Rick Vilardo and Transforming Christian Ministries.

It is great to be back at Oxford University United Methodist Church in Oxford, MS to see the new building they are moving into this week. Three years ago we raised over $6m for this building to be used by this vibrant community of faith under the leadership of Pastor Eddie Rester. Getting started now to eliminate the debt so the church can move forward, "Growing Generations."

Beginning work with Immanuel United Methodist Church in Lakeside Park, Kentucky. A great church with a long history and a deep commitment to 21st century ministries today. Always grateful for such opportunities!

It is always deeply rewarding to see reports of the progress in a church I was privileged to work with in a capital campaign. Anderson Hills UMC is equipping itself for exciting ministry!

Sometimes we are unaware of the messages we send in the simple things--like tipping our servers at a restaurant. Here are a few thoughts for encouraging "extravagant generosity."

What will it take to help church members practice what Robert Schnase calls “extravagant generosity”?

Creating a culture of generosity that sustains a church ministry into the future is a challenge, but can be achieved. In this edition of the quarterly Transforming Christian Ministries(r) newsletter, I suggest a few ways for church leadership to do so.
