I am writing to you from First Congregational Church in Mansfield, Ohio. We have been very fortunate to have your consultant as a part of our church community these past months. His guidance, leadership, support, big smile and kind heart have been a blessing to all of our Capital Campaign team as well as our entire congregation. He has been the quiet strength and force behind our Campaign effort (in addition to the Holy Spirit) and has made this journey worth every effort, in more ways than one.
Thank you to the consultant as well as the James D. Klote & Associates team. We truly appreciate the impact you have made on the future of our special church.

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.
