Brief History:

Tim McCall joined Golden Corner Church in West Union, South Carolina as Senior Pastor in January of 2022. After experiencing significant growth up to this point, the Golden Corner Church leadership began preparing for expansion by establishing a master plan. Soon after making the plan, they were at 80% capacity in their two services and the team began to evaluate their existing space based on what they anticipated their future needs would be. It was obvious to the leaders that it was time to begin phase 1 of their plan. 

The Plan:

Phase 1 of the plan involved expanding their current worship center and renovating some areas of their existing building. This would add 3,000 ft² to their foyer, 200 auditorium seats, and more classrooms for their children’s ministry.

Spiritual Growth:

Leading up to the campaign, Golden Corner Church leaders came together as a group to capture vision and pray about what God would have them do. The team was encouraged in these special moments, as leaders sought the Lord together on the next steps for the church. During the campaign, there were multiple stories of lives changed, as people took steps of faith and sacrificially gave to support the vision of the church. 

The Result:

At the launch of their 3-year campaign, Golden Corner Church had a goal of $850,000 to expand and renovate their worship center and classrooms. Their initial pledges exceeded their goal by more than $500,000 and their initial gifts accounted for more than 22% of their 3-year goal!

“We are so blessed with the results of this campaign, and it grew us immensely as a team.”

The Partnership:

The leaders at Golden Corner Church sought to carry out their campaign with wisdom and spiritual discernment. They felt that INJOY Stewardship Solutions would provide them with the right tools and insight to reach their goals and achieve the vision that God had given them. 

The team learned a lot from the financial analysis at the beginning of the process, which helped them uncover valuable information about the overall financial health of their church. They benefited from their partnership with consultant, Jeff B., who provided leadership and guidance on developing the campaign team, events, responsibilities, and more. The team at Golden Corner is looking forward to continuing this partnership with Jeff and INJOY Stewardship Solutions, as they enter the FollowThru phase of their campaign.
