I want to thank you for enabling the Parish of St. Thomas’ Church, Rochester, NY, to take advantage of the expertise of your consultant. It was hard for me to think of him as an external consultant in our fund raising efforts. He fit in as a regular parishioner and seemed to manifest the core beliefs and focus of our parish. Perhaps that is a large part of why he was so effective as a consultant. He has certainly enabled the best side of St. Thomas to expose itself, and we are a closer, more loving parish as a result.

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.
