At age 77 I’ve had my experiences with consultants. My consensus: useless, a waste of time and money; that was my attitude in December. It is now February, and I have replaced skepticism with kudos.
The consultant’s depth of knowledge and expertise in teaching us how to implement the programs to fit our particular needs have been exceptional. He provided a personalized plan that energized the base and then the entire parish. He delivered a professional product, and the success to date of our capital campaign is a testament to his ability and, therefore, to your company. There is no longer a question of the value of utilizing a consultant.
He will be missed (he was a pleasure to work with) but will leave us empowered to achieve our goals.

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.
