I have been very impressed with the detailed and intentional approach you apply to Capital Campaigns. Your 2 visits have been very encouraging in order for us to reach the end goal of raising the money we need to restore our stately church building.
Your consultant has been a delight to work with. His approach is very low-key and professional. We have the letter and assessment reports in hand only one day after the last meeting with our congregants. It is quite impressive and thorough. I know for sure why Pastor Campbell recommended your firm to our church council. I personally call it divine intervention because God knows how much our church needs professional leadership.
God has placed us in good hands and I want you to know how much we appreciate your consultant.

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.
