I had the privilege of serving as Clergy Chair of the Arlington District All Things New Capital Campaign Team. In that role I had the privilege of working with our JDK&A Consultant since the Fall of 2009. From the first time I met him I was impressed by his professionalism and knowledge. As a novice coming into my role he gave me a sense of confidence that we could be successful in our efforts to carry out the campaign on our district and in our Conference. The Klote Consultant’s leadership helped us get started in a positive and productive way.
I thank our JDK&A Consultant for his leadership and support. It has been a determining factor in the success of the campaign thus far.

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.
