If you are planning a capital campaign, and do not want the day to day work to fall on you or your staff, I would encourage you to give James D. Klote and Associates an opportunity to show you what they can do. James D. Klote and Associates is different than the other capital campaign consulting firms. James D. Klote and Associates provides a full time, on campus Campaign Director. As a busy Church Business Administrator, having the Campaign Director at our church was a blessing because the Director did a lot of the behind the scenes work that it takes to plan, organize, and implement a successful capital 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.
