Just wanted to send you a note of “Thanks” for sharing your consultant with our congregation. He has been working with us for several months now and is doing a great job keeping us focused and coaching us on how to go about conducting our pledge drive. We appreciate his personality, his style, and his swift and meaningful responses to all questions as they come up. In fact, he typically anticipates questions and situations and has adequate responses and “real life” examples of how things can be handled and answered.
Just know he is well respected and we appreciate all his efforts on behalf of our parish. I believe if he was interested in moving someday, I would invite him to join our church and community.

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.
