I attend Mt Pisgah Church in Greensboro, NC. Your consultant is the assigned campaign director for our expansion project. While I have only worked with him for a few weeks on the focus group segment, I am impressed with his logical and rational approach to initiating and beginning a campaign. His suggestions and guidance have been well received in part due to his calm and reassuring demeanor. In my opinion, regardless of the outcome in the expansion project, we could not have been better served or guided.

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.
