The consultant’s time with Ascension Lutheran Church has gone very fast, but he was always right there with us every step of the way in our Capital Campaign.
We want to thank him for all his help in setting our goals and following through with the planning and details. We especially appreciated his continued presence at the church and being able to talk with him at any time we had a question. He has kept us inspired!
We are very grateful for his leadership and encouragement and follow-up help in future planning.
We hope he will be able to return when the restoration of our sanctuary is complete and see the results of his work in your Savannah summer of 2017.

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.
