I want to thank your consultant so much for his kind and gentle but firm leadership of St. Peter’s capital campaign. We now have over $3/4 million dollars to renovate our church and grounds and there is still more to come!
This could not have happened without your consultant. We will always be grateful to him for helping us raise the money we need to create a safe, welcoming space for people to worship for many years to come. You are in our hearts and prayers. May God bless you now and always.

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.
