I am a Vestry member at Trinity Anglican Church in Bakersfield, California. I am serving on the “Building to Bless” Capital Campaign committee.
Our campaign is being conducted at a time where finances and support of such an undertaking are challenging. Our Klote consultant, has stepped in and become one of us. He is a strong motivator and has assisted in energizing our church members to participate in this campaign. We believe it is essential to contact every household and to ensure every person knows they are important to achieving our goals. He is assisting us in this mission.
He has organized this campaign with knowledge and has every planning piece coming together in a timely manner.
His patience and wisdom have been a blessing beyond every expectation. He has been extremely effective due his on-site presence to answer questions and participate each day. His availability has made a significant difference in our campaign.
He is an exemplary Christian man, and it has been an honor to work, serve and learn from him.

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.
