Frequently Asked Questions
How does the program guarantee 30% member participation? It's rather simple. Based on our years of experience and expertise, we are able to strategically forecast the portion of your congregation that will respond then steadily expand from that point.
The EICC Network uses a proven recruitment strategy combining pastoral endorsement, targeted marketing, member testimonials, and clear value proposition. Our team works closely with church leadership to identify potential members and create personalized outreach campaigns that consistently achieve or exceed the 30% participation threshold.
Does the church need to provide upfront funding? Yes. In order to create a win-win, the organization will need to invest a quarter (3-months salary) in advance then bi-weekly thereafter along with committed internal resources to ensure success.
No. The program is designed to be completely self-funding. The Development Director's salary is included in the revenue model, and all program costs are covered by membership dues and event fees. This zero-risk financial structure ensures the church only benefits without any initial investment.
