Our deepest thanks to James D. Klote & Associates.
I want to thank you for your company’s involvement in First United Methodist Church, Kissimmee’s Capital Campaign. Your initial personal touch with our Stewardship Committee helped us make the decision. It was good to have conversation with you along the way, as well.Also, thank you for appointing the consultant that you did. His personal touch and presence continued yours. Most of all, to me, was how involved he became in our church and community.
I don’t doubt that this is part of company philosophy, policy, theology, but it takes the right people to do this. Our Klote Consultant was the right person for us. Our deepest thanks to James D. Klote & Associates.

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.
