As a planned gift fund developer for another charity, I wanted to share how impressed I am with the work ethic, incredible time investment, dedication, and personal effort of your firm, as represented by your consultant. I am not a member of the campaign leadership for Concordia but have watched him for weeks now at Church services, committee and various informational meetings, and have found the “we’re part of your family,” approach very impressive and to date effective. If relationship building is important for a harvest of gifts then the consultant is planting fertile fields. May God continue to bless his efforts for Concordia.

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.
