When I was asked to become a volunteer for “Christ is our Foundation” building project fundraising campaign I was very apprehensive at first, not having been involved with a project like this in the past. But because Church of the Redeemer is such a warm, friendly and loving Church I jumped in with both feet and it has been a pure joy working side by side with James D. Klote & Associates and especially their onsite consultant, who is available for guidance 24/7. There is a very relevant saying that comes to mind – “Actions Speak Louder than Words.” Church of the Redeemer is very blessed having the Klote company lead the campaign which will benefit generations to come.

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.
