Our JDK&A associate has helped our congregation gauge whether to enter a capital campaign. They have been with us for over 6 weeks, living and breathing as one of our staff members and congregants. They have provided a framework for holding focus group meetings which has helped our staff to not become overwhelmed with this process. It has also been a pleasure engaging with the associate. They are available to whomever would like to meet to answer questions and put people’s minds at ease. The process could not have gone more smoothly! I look forward to beginning the actual capital campaign in the coming weeks, and I know and have confidence that our associate will bring support and expertise in helping us fulfill the campaign.

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.
