We believe that in this process, many intangible goals have also been attained. Our JDK&A Consultant has been unfailingly friendly, courteous and respectful. He made an effort to get to know the people of the congregation, while allowing himself to be known in return. He’s been a regular participant in our common life during and beyond the worship hour. The Consultant has been able to motivate our campaign workers to get the job done, balancing correction with praise and conveying a sense of enthusiasm and encouragement. He is able to communicate the theory and practice of a Capital Campaign in the language of scripture, theology, and spirituality.

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.
