Faith-Filled Explorations: Are Hidden Costs Draining Your School's Mission?

In a time when every dollar matters, many ELCA schools and congregations are unknowingly losing thousands to overlooked operational expenses—costs buried in copier leases, printing systems, and vendor contracts that quietly chip away at already stretched budgets.

This engaging, eye-opening webinar goes beyond theory to uncover where those dollars are hiding—and how to reclaim them.

You’ll discover practical, real-world strategies to:

  • Identify and eliminate unnecessary expenses
  • Navigate complex vendor agreements with confidence
  • Redirect savings toward what truly matters: your students, staff, and ministry

This isn’t about cutting corners—it’s about strengthening stewardship and aligning every resource with your mission.

Featuring Al Kietzmann, President & Founder of Copier Consulting, LLC, a trusted advisor with over 30 years of experience serving schools and nonprofits nationwide. Al brings a rare ability to decode confusing contract language and expose hidden costs, empowering leaders to make clear, confident, and mission-driven decisions.

His passion is simple: help Lutheran schools free up time, energy, and resources so they can focus on what they’re called to do—educate, disciple, and transform lives through Christ.

In alignment with the ELCA social policy resolution, we are grounded in the scriptural truth that we are all created good and in the image of God; as a Christian community specifically engaged in education and moral awareness. We task ourselves to provide safe environments that are intentional about equality for all races, people with disabilities, all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions.
