I thank James D. Klote & Associates for their guidance, hard work, positive attitude and friendship. JDK&A truly understands church life and is well aware of the often particular and unusual sensitivities and nuances of congregational life. Our consultant really was available 24/7, as advertised, and at numerous times went ‘above and beyond’ the call in taking care of details that otherwise could well have fallen between the cracks. JDK&A assisted our congregation in stretching our giving in an appropriate, meaningful, thoughtful and generous way.

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.
