DALLAS, Nov. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Resource Services, Inc. (RSI), a leader in stewardship, fundraising and technology services, today announces a new strategic ministry relationship with Willow Creek Association (WCA).

This exclusive partnership will enhance RSI's ability to provide stewardship services to the more than 5,000 WCA Member Churches and to introduce their community of church leaders to friends and clients of RSI. WCA Member Churches will have access to specialized training, significant discounts and capital campaign financing services.

Founded in 1973, RSI is the leading innovator of capital campaign, major gift, and stewardship methodology to churches, Christian schools and other Christian not-for- profit organizations. This methodology is based on a commitment to help client's fulfill God's unique call through biblical principles of stewardship with 21st century relevance. As part of The Pursuant Group, RSI also provides technology and communication resources to churches including TruthCasting, Unifyer, and most recently a private label iPhone app.

Since 1992, Willow Creek Association has been linking like-minded, action-oriented churches -- across denominational, ethnic, and regional lines -- with each other and with strategic vision, training, and resources. "We are driven by a calling to serve Christ- following leaders as they build biblically functioning churches...authentic, Acts 2 communities of faith that reach increasing numbers of lost people and grow them into fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ," said WCA president Jim Mellado.

Together RSI and WCA will bring a "new and improved" focused and holistic approach in the area of stewardship for today's ministry leaders. "I cannot tell you how excited we are about this new relationship and the positive impact it will have for churches across the United States and around the world," said Joel Mikell, RSI president.

Early initiatives in 2010 will include joint sponsorship of a live webcast featuring Willow Creek's founding pastor and WCA board chair Bill Hybels on January 21, followed by a series of regionalized training opportunities.
