Our team also offers fundraising and development coaching.
Why “Acacia”?
Acacia is a very dense hardwood. In the Old Testament, God commanded the Israelites to build many ceremonial items out of acacia wood, including the ark of the covenant and the altar. Acacia wood was readily available in the wilderness and many Israelites who possessed acacia wood took it with them at the Exodus (Exodus 35:24). Acacia wood is incredibly durable, and items built out of acacia wood, like those commanded by God during the Exodus, last for many generations.
The Acacia Group seeks to preserve and protect our clients’ ministries, their good works, and their legacy for many generations, like the ark of the covenant which was moved around for 400 years.
