Thank you for providing us with excellent leadership. Our JDK&A consultant provided us with the personal guidance, encouragement and support we needed to reach out to all our church members. He trained our visitors with enthusiasm and maintained a daily contact with all the team members and campaign workers. It has been obvious to us that he loves his work, and loves working with people. The Klote approach to capital stewardship brings people together and unites them under a common goal. We found here at Trinity that the Klote approach connected us with our church members and helped us discover what God has in mind for our church in mission and ministry. As pastor of Trinity, I commend Klote and Associates to you with highest regard. You will enjoy the Klote team leadership, you’ll learn lots about your church and its mission, and you’ll rejoice over what you will accomplish.

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.
