Trinity Wellsprings Church had a fantastic experience with James D. Klote & Associates during a pivotal season of our congregational life. Our capital campaign gave us a great opportunity to dream and envision Christ’s preferred future for our church. James D. Klote & Associates helped us to give sacrificially as a church family and walked alongside us every step of the way. Our consultant dived head-first into our congregational life; our members were impressed with how much our consultant felt like “our family” by the end of the campaign. Our congregation will reap the benefits of our capital campaign for years and years to come.

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.
