Dear Pastor,
It’s a privilege for me to recommend to you Paul Gage and The Gage Group. I have observed Paul's ministry for years and watched him lead many of the most successful capital campaigns in church history. Several of these success stories were with close friends and they enthusiastically confirmed his reputation of integrity, professionalism, and a winning record. I personally asked Paul to help me guide our church with a God-sized building project at Immanuel Baptist Church.
With the critical need for ministry and outreach space, we recently purchased a 40,000 sq. ft. building adjacent to our church. This space will become our new “City Center” used to transform lives and further the work of the kingdom for our city. Our building project also included the addition of 25,000 sq. ft. to our main campus, doubling our space for our rapidly growing children’s and preschool ministry. The additional space will provide multi-media auditoriums with state-of-the-art technology for our children and future generations
With a building program of this magnitude, I needed Paul's experience and proven strategies to help lead our church family in this spiritual and financial journey. He coached me and my staff with a carefully planned capital campaign that proved to be the perfect presentation and approach for our church. The end result has been the joyful celebration of raising the $11.5 million to build two extraordinary ministry facilities. Additionally, we developed a plan to be debt free in a very short amount of time. Our Generations building campaign has been an overwhelming success and propels us to a new level of expanding our mission and sharing God’s love to our city.
Our vision is to create a kingdom advancing Gospel culture. The campaign helped us make that clear to the people.
With Paul leading your capital campaign you and your church family will experience a time of spiritual blessing and growth. As well, Paul helped me understand how to lead my people through this process. He was my personal coach and I walked into each meeting with a ton of confidence. That alone is invaluable. He understands campaigns are not only about raising money and building facilities but about building people and making a difference for the Kingdom.
It is without hesitation or reservation that I recommend my friend Paul Gage for your capital funding needs.
Sincerely,
Dr. Steven W. Smith Senior Pastor
Dear Pastor,
It is a great privilege for me to recommend to you Paul Gage and The Gage Group.
Paul was the man I called on to help lead the largest and most successful capital campaign we have ever experienced at First Baptist Cleveland. With so much at stake, I wanted the very best advice and coaching to lead our church family in this faith adventure. Having great success working with Paul in our 2010 relocation project, I knew I could trust Paul’s wisdom and leadership and he would be a tremendous help to me and my staff at First Cleveland.
We are currently working with Paul with our Phase II campaign called "Generations" that included:
• A modern 2,500 seat worship center
• Expansive commons spaces & Café
• Secure children’s & student ministry space
• Additional adult education space
• 636 additional parking spaces
• Spacious outdoor plaza for community & gatherings
In addition, he helped me communicate with our lead gift donors and provided creative methods to involve all the donor groups for maximum participation.
The spiritual and financial results have been extraordinary! We have received $17,000,000 in faith commitments to accelerate First Cleveland’s vision to create a dynamic ministry center for people to passionately pursue God, build community, and radically unleash the good news of grace and hope in East Tennessee and beyond.
If you are considering a giving campaign and want the very best to lead your people to greater heights spiritually and financially, then let me recommend to you my friend Paul Gage for your capital funding needs.
Jordan Easley Senior Pastor
