I highly recommend James D. Klote & Associates and their consultant for the Capital Campaign process they brought to Trinity Wellsprings Church which was more spiritual, than financial, and I believe life changing for our church. The real goal was to visit all members and to challenge us to provide our church family with opportunities for sacrificial giving of our time, talents and treasures. The consultant joined us in June to conduct a feasibility study to ensure that all of our members were engaged in creating a shared vision that contains three major priority dreams and six life changing dreams. He gave the stewardship committee, the elders and the staff structure and confidence and partnered with us in connecting and approaching our members. The consultant was an integral full-time member of our church staff for six months, living, worshiping, and committing to the life of the congregation.

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.
