[quote=Anonymous]Our church does this, although the visit is optional, and the discussion does include asking about things that church does well/could improve in as PP stated above.   You also mentioned "capital investment" as a reason for the visit.   If this is about raising funds for a large project at the church (addition or renovations of the building?), those fundraising efforts are usually separate from day-to-day fundraising needs.   Perhaps the church would like to have the opportunity to discuss the new project and/or get input from members as well as raising money for it.  An individual meeting gives both sides more opportunities to ask and answer questions than a large group meeting does.   I don't think they are visiting your home to see how much money you have, rather that it is probably more convenient for most parishioners to have someone come to them than to make the effort to meet somewhere else.   If you would rather meet at another location, I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem.  [/quote]
