For the first time, the community of St. Bernadette Catholic Church, Bellevue, Nebraska, made the decision to embark on a formal capital campaign. Renovations had been sparse in the 60 years since the parish was built; revitalization for the worship space was desperately needed. Additionally, renovations to office space would give the parish the chance to grow in their current space in a way that could serve the entire community with accessibility for all.
St. Bernadette leadership engaged the Steier Group for a comprehensive planning study. Having revealed important information that would impact the scope and trajectory of the campaign, parish leadership demonstrated trust by pivoting with Steier Group recommendations. With a hands-on campaign manager onsite with leadership weekly to expertly guide the campaign, St. Bernadette could lean into all services provided by the Steier Group including graphic design, database management and grant writing. The tailored Our Faith, Our Family, Our Future Capital Campaign mobilized the community with high parish participation. The community surpassed the Steier Group’s low-end goal projections; St. Bernadette successfully raised funds to address all current needs for the church.
“One of the most impressive things about working with the Steier Group was how personable and genuine our campaign manager was. It was evident that she cared about our campaign as much as we did. She not only went above and beyond to help us be successful but took the time to get to know our parish staff and volunteers personally. The Steier Group's organization, professionalism and expertise was key to our success.”
Rev. Jeff Mollner, Pastor of St. Bernadette Catholic Church
