I am a member of the Vestry at St. Alban’s Episcopal Church in Waco, Texas. I want to let you know what a wonderful job the consultant is doing. He is so genuine and professional in all he does. It feels like he has been a life-long member of our church family. I personally participated in the Parish Briefings as one of the speakers. He prepared us well and provided awesome feedback following our presentations. It is a super way of providing a personal touch to explaining to the congregation the Capital Campaign in support of the ministry here.
Personally, I feel the consultant has become a friend along the way. I suspect that’s not in the job description but his way is so winsome that I am just drawn in. Thank you for such a caring representative and knowledgeable consultant.

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.
