Wow. These last six months have literally flown by. So much has been accomplished at our church due mainly to the consultant’s guidance, leadership, and methods and practices.
As a member of our Capital Campaign Steering Committee and on the finance committee, his overall system of tracking our campaign has been so beneficial in regard to who, how much, where we are, etc.
It’s been a pleasure to work with the consultant and we thank him so much for helping to make our campaign a success as well as not just being a consultant but integrating, interacting, and being an active member within our congregation, our worship services, and activities.
It’s also reassuring to know that he will be only a phone call away.

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.
