The PRAGMINIS team is equipped with a broad array of tools, programs, and networked relationships, providing you with effective solutions and dependable support. We furnish a total outsourcing answer to your needs, covering every business aspect of your church or ministry.
Fee structures are available on both hourly and fixed rates. We attempt to establish fees based upon the value we create for your organization. Because the needs of every organization vary widely, we do not structure fees on a "one-size-fits-all" basis. The value we create is determined together with each client.
Banking and Financial Consulting
At PRAGMINIS, our first priority is to understand your current position and future goals. We listen carefully to understand your ministry vision and objectives. We then gather relevant data so you get a clear picture of the health of your current system of stewardship. Next, we perform a SWOT Analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) which provides you with a clear picture or your business dynamics, including banking relationship, budget, organizational structure, and general needs, desires, time lines, and expectations. Finally we design and present you with a road map to fulfill your vision and achieve your objectives in a cost-effective and timely manner. As with any church or ministry organization, prayerful and informed planning is key to success. We are committed to both.
Virtual Banker and CFO Programs
Do you have a positive relationship with your banker? Is he/she engaged regularly with you, serving as a valued financial adviser? Many church and ministry leaders lack a satisfactory relationship with their bank. Our "Virtual Banker" program removes this challenge. As your virtual banker, we relate to the bank on your behalf, creating a relationship that ensures the very best services, terms, and fees your bank can offer.
Similarly, our "Virtual CFO" program provides you with expert financial management without having to place a qualified person on your payroll. For the period of time you determine*, we oversee your monthly finances while training your staff, or volunteers, along the way. We make sure your recording and tracking mechanisms are up to date and effective, that you have the right software in place, and that the organization achieves the highest standards of Biblical stewardship.
* 3-month minimum
Loan Acquisition
The normal challenges faced by churches and ministries in loan acquisition are even more pronounced in the present economic climate. Fewer financial institutions make loans available to faith-based non-profits, and those that do have raised the qualification standards.
PRAGMINIS knows exactly what these institutions require, so we prepare your financial documents, pre-underwrite your loan, then present your application to several banks. The result is a loan that meets your need without over-taxing your constituents. If we determine your organization cannot presently qualify for a loan, our Virtual CFO program works with you until qualification takes place.
Productivity Forums
Christian leaders are called, gifted, and trained to impact people for God's Kingdom. Some lead churches or ministries, others own or operate businesses. Whether a leader is called to minister through business, or a faith-based nonprofit, he/she has a desire for heightened fruitfulness. Our Productivity Forum is the perfect solution for bringing ministry and business together to maximize servant leadership. For one year, leaders from all walks of life meet monthly for a 4-hour forum. Each session is dedicated to a particular topic related to the success and significance of the individual leader and the organization through which they serve. Topics include:
- Financial Fundamentals
- Designing Result Oriented Activities
- Increasing revenue/giving
- Audience Awareness (Marketing)
- People and Project Management
- How to Structure your Vision
- Multiply or Die
- And more . . .
Each participant also receives one hour per month of personal coaching by the PRAGMINIS team, designed to maximize the practical and personal benefits of the Forum.
Alliance of Strategic Affiliates (ASA)
PRAGMINIS exists to clarify and simplify the multitude of business dynamics required for effective ministry, equipping Christian leaders to grow fruitful churches and ministries through sound stewardship practices. When we are unable to provide a specific service, we call upon one of our affiliate organizations to assist us.
Our Alliance of Strategic Affiliates includes experts in non-profit accounting, law, marketing, fund raising, architecture and construction, risk management, staff benefits, and others. Our goal is to be your single source for business services, so each affiliate is carefully vetted. If we cannot trust them with our business, we will not trust them with yours.
Feel free to contact us for more information on any of our services.
