My embracing of Centreville United Methodist Church’s Capital Campaign has actually surprised me. Having our consultant and a fellow church member speak with me about the scope and purpose of the campaign opened my eyes to the role I can play in the success of our church. Once I decided what kind of commitment I wanted to make – a sacrificial gift that allows me to feel truly joyful about my support of our church’s mission – my enthusiasm for the campaign grew. Talking to others about the campaign on home visits has become easy, as I want everyone to have the opportunity to experience the same joy and sense of purpose in giving to God in this way.

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.
