These are truly exciting days at Potomac United Methodist Church. We are a growing congregation. With growth however, we find that our current facilities have become outdated and inadequate. Our solution to this problem was the plan of campaign offered and expertly implemented by James D. Klote & Associates. These professionals provided invaluable assistance in preparing and implementing a thorough Feasibility Study. This allowed all members of our church an opportunity to advise and accept ownership in our new building plans. The Study helped focus our intentions and gather the support needed to proceed with an immensely successful capital stewardship campaign.
On behalf of Potomac Church, I thank Klote & Associates for their guidance, hard work, positive attitude and friendship. I will count on their services again in the future and will continue to share with others our wonderful success.

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.
