Timberlake Church’s experience with James D. Klote & Associates thus far has been excellent. Our campaign consultant has been a perfect match for us and has done an outstanding job directing our “Roots to Fruit” stewardship campaign. Not only has he expertly run our focus groups, organized our donor evaluators and kicked off our personal visits, but he has imbedded himself into the heartbeat of our church. From attending Sunday services, meetings, and participating in social gatherings he has taken a personal and spiritual interest in our church. I have been most impressed with his desire and commitment to minister to members of our church.

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.
