Just want to take a moment to thank you and our on-site consultant for the great work you have done to get us where we are on the Westminster Capital Campaign. Although Larry told me last fall that they were working on a new capital campaign, I only recently got involved.
Since coming on board with the capital campaign, I am impressed with the degree of professionalism your company provides and the leadership in your company. We are very pleased with the tools our consultant deploys and the insight from a company with a great track record of success.

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.
