It has been an honor to get to know the consultant and his wife. Not only did he do a fantastic job in helping us raise over $3 million, but for the brief time that he was here, he fit right in to our church family. I will miss him when he leaves. Mr. Klote has a real gem of an employee.
The fundraising effort that the consultant helped spearhead has gone WAY beyond our expectations.

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.
