Why is this the time to launch a Capital Campaign? When do you announce your Campaign? What are the resources needed for a Capital Campaign? Who will work on your Campaign? How do you move the Campaign from idea to action? These are some of the topics that come up when a parish considers a Capital Campaign. The Rev. Ryan Fleenor, Rector of St. Luke’s, Darien, and Barbara Roos, Program Administrator to the Canon to the Ordinary at ECCT, will share their Capital Campaign experiences leaving time for questions and discussion.
Facilitators: The Reverend Ryan Fleenor became Rector of Saint Luke’s Parish in July 2020. Originally from Durham, North Carolina, Ryan came to Saint Luke’s after ten years as a priest at St. James’ Church, Madison Avenue, in New York City. He studied history at the University of Virginia, taught English literature at a Roman Catholic high school in New Orleans, and prepared for the priesthood at Yale Divinity School. As Rector, Ryan gets to be involved in nearly every aspect of life at Saint Luke’s, from preaching, teaching, pastoral care and leadership development, to budgets, administration and financial stewardship. As Rector, his focus is on creating a culture in which people of all ages can grow in faith and be equipped as disciples who will know, love, and follow Jesus.
