Towson Presbyterian Church benefited greatly from James D. Klote and Associates’ attentive and effective expertise. The congregation had never set such a high goal of ourselves, and it had been fifteen years since our last capital campaign. JDK encouraged us to think outside the box of our expectations and to stretch toward financial targets that could truly be a transformation in our capacity for ministry and mission. Having a JDK&A consultant on site made a big difference in maintaining our focus and helped to leverage the time and talents of church staff and volunteers alike. Throughout the process, JDK&A’s sensitivity to our culture and appreciation for the spiritual dimensions of capital stewardship on this scale made them ideal partners.

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.
