The consultant has been a gracious and easy guide throughout the process. Professionalism and vital attention to detail have been leavened by humanity. I believe our church members will appreciate one another’s gifts more fully as a result of the campaign. Yes, we’re being challenged, but more importantly, we’re being encouraged to live in the boldness of our dreams. Laughter, joy, and camaraderie have walked hand in hand, which makes fundraising personal and meaningful rather than onerous.

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.
