I wanted to express my gratitude for all of the hard work that the consultant is doing for the Capital Campaign at Centreville United Methodist Church. He has been extremely supportive, kind, approachable, available and vastly knowledgeable in all situations. My husband and I have found him to be a wonderful resource as we started out on visits to church members. The consultant always seems to have a smile and a positive attitude when dealing with any situation. We have found that time seems to be a major limiting factor among our church members with offers to visit and be visited, but he is the ray of hope and continues to encourage and be positive.
Again, we wanted to sing the consultant’s praises and let you know he is trying 100% to ensure a success campaign.

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.
