Chris Willard isn’t merely a consultant he is a trusted ally. If you are looking for an expert that really gets generosity yet simultaneously really gets pastors, look no further. Chris and his team helped Grace Alive cross significant thresholds in giving and secure a permanent facility. Without reservation I can honestly say their council was a difference maker. I know that the Elevate Group can make a difference for you, too.

Lead Pastor, Grace Alive Church
We had an annual budget of 6.5 million and a goal of raising 26 million over 2 years to move the ministry of our church significantly forward. We needed the wisdom of the Lord as leaders and a movement of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of our people. The Lord used Chris Willard and his team to provide the wisdom we needed as leaders. The Holy Spirit did His part in the people, and in the end, God provided over 30 million to move the ministry of our church forward in significant ways.

When we faced the biggest financial challenge in our church’s 20 year history we turned to Greg Morris and his team and it is one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Greg perfectly balances an aggressive fundraising approach with a wise spiritual sensitivity that made our journey effective, honorable and most importantly Biblical. I can’t recommend his services strongly enough.

I have had the pleasure to work with Chris Willard and his team on multiple occasions. His knowledge, professionalism and effectiveness is outstanding. He has helped our church grow in generosity in significant ways. In addition to leading and coaching on large generosity initiatives, he has helped with key details to continue the growth of our generosity and discipleship with the people who are a part of our church family. I recommend him and the Elevate Group with the highest of regards. You will get personalized service that will exceed expectations.

Greg was and is the consummate professional. He under promised and over delivered each step of the way. He understands the dynamics of ministry and business and how to assist churches in meeting their financial goals. I strongly recommend Greg Morris as an outstanding partner to churches.

Executive Pastor, Hibernia Baptist Church
We retained Greg Morris to help us with a generosity initiative & he assisted us with SO much more than raising funds. He helped me navigate a challenge that threatened to derail our plans. He also worked with us to communicate our vision in the most compelling & engaging way possible. His partnership & ongoing friendship have been invaluable.

Lead Pastor, Summit Church
Chris and his team helped Woodbury develop a generosity strategy that has not only increased financial giving, but also given us a better handle on how to effectively communicate with and engage givers where they are at. I am happy to recommend Elevate Group to any pastor who wants to elevate generosity and stewardship in the church.
