I appreciate the fact that you emphasized the importance of relating the campaign to our mission. One of the reasons we hired your firm was your promise to be with us and lead us every step of the way. Our Director did just that and gave his personal attention to the details as well. The campaign has gone very smoothly so far, and I am confident that more than enough money will be raised to do everything that we have planned. This will enable us to grow and expand our ministries for 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.
