Preparation before the campaign is launched is a primary factor in success or failure. If your church is planning a CSC in the near future, here are nine questions to ask. The answers to these questions will help you determine your readiness. They are essential to the success of the campaign. If you are not certain of the answers to all the questions, you may not be ready for a campaign. We can help you to know. At the BGCO we help you prepare to launch your campaign by conducting a pre- campaign “Launch Readiness Assessment.” A Launch Readiness Assessment is the one certain way to answer the nine vital questions that determine your readiness for a campaign.</p><p>1.
