I wanted to let you know that your consultant is doing an outstanding job with our Capital Campaign. His experience, knowledge and insight have been instrumental in guiding us in this very challenging task. Although we’ve only just begun, I feel that we’ve achieved a very real and sustainable momentum that has netted us a substantial amount of our total goal. To be honest I had very real reservations when we started because of the size of our congregation and the amount of money we were attempting to raise but now am confident that may well exceed our goal.

Carmel Lutheran Church kicked off its ‘Hearts Compelled To Share’ capital campaign in record style. As of January 25th just 73 families of the more than 900 in the church had already committed $3.75 million dollars. That total represents not only the best kickoff to a campaign at CLC, it also represents the best campaign in total even though only 8% of the congregation has pledged so far.
The previous best campaign was just four years ago when CLC collected a total of about $3 million in pledges from over 425 donors.
