I’m a vestry member at St. Thomas’ Rochester and am happy to let you know that we are extremely happy with our campaign so far! The consultant has been an inspiration to all of us who are leaders in the parish. His calm, professional leadership and his expertise are invaluable. His guidance has resulted in smooth, productive listening sessions that have been tremendously useful. He’s given us excellent advice throughout and even helped me personally to cope with a chronically difficult parishioner. Thanks so much for putting your consultant on the St. Thomas’ team!

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.
