I want to thank the consultant for the great service he provided to Christ Church Cathedral (CCC) in assisting our Third Century Vision Capital Campaign. The Committee, under Co-chairs Frank McWilliams and Ernest Thompson, is the beneficiary of the outstanding preparation and guidance that he provided to our leadership and volunteers.
The consultant coached CCC to a new level in annual giving as well as moving us to a strong position in the Capital Campaign. We are very proud of the success that has been achieved under his steady tutelage and involvement. The careful planning and guidance and the training that he provided should enable the Committee and all those who dedicated time to the visits, to see the Campaign to fruition.

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.
