I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding professional services you have provided for the Virginia Conference’s “All Things New Capital Campaign”. It was evident our JDK&A Consultant is an expert in the areas of stewardship and fund raising. He quickly earned the respect of our team members, as he led us forward in a task with which many of us felt took us out of our comfort zone. He provided us with the guidance and training needed to equip us for the work before us. I’m convinced we would not have made the progress we have as a Conference without his untiring follow-up and attention to detail.

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.
