As the Capital Campaign Chair for Grace Episcopal Church here in Siloam Springs, I wanted you to know what a privileged it has been to work with your consultant. I believe I am safe to say that opinion extends to the campaign steering committee chairs as well. The consultant has certainly kept us organized and on task. As a result, we are fast approaching our campaign goal and I am confident that we will exceed it by our campaign’s conclusion this coming Sunday, December 18th. As you know, this has been an aggressive campaign undertaken in a tight time frame. There are many wonderful people to thank for the successful outcomes we are experiencing. However, without the consultant’s kind demeanor and leadership skills, we would have had difficulty in reaching our goal in such a timely and successful manner.

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.
