As a district superintendent and working with our JDK&A Consultant closely, I have found him a very positive force in our campaign. He has been cooperative in answering our questions and helping us over a few rough spots. He has been working with the Virginia Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church in their “All Things New” capital fund project over the past year. Our Klote Consultant demonstrated an excellent understanding of what “All Things New” was to accomplish. He has worked carefully with both clergy and laity offering patience, knowledge, and understanding. He has been sensitive to issues brought up and has led tirelessly in helping the Conference to accomplish their goal.

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.
