I speak for our church leaders when I say I can’t imagine conducting a capital campaign-no matter what the goal-any other way. James D. Klote & Associates full-time, on sight presence made all the difference! Our consultant was available, accessible and eager to guide at every point along the way – for steering committee meetings, training sessions, home visits, maintaining records and producing reports.
Our experience bears witness that, given their unique approach, it is no surprise that JDK&A achieve a higher level of success than competing firms.

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.
