The consultant’s positive attitude, guidance, and persistence have been vital to the success of our Capital Campaign at Christ Church Cathedral – Cincinnati. He is always available to answer questions and help with the most difficult calls, but still encourages our team to approach the campaign in ways best for our unique circumstances. Among our challenges is that our members are quite diverse and widely spread geographically, necessitating an array of strategies to achieve our goals. I especially have appreciated the consultant’s respectfulness and openness to new ideas. He has not only been an excellent resource person for our campaign, but he has become a good friend to CCC. We will miss him when his time with our team ends!

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.
