I am grateful to God for the consultant. God knew what He was doing when you matched our parish with the consultant’s leadership.
The consultant has prayerfully, gracefully, and wisely assisted me and our leaders during this campaign, especially as we discovered a deep, possibly cultural, resistance to the maturity this campaign calls forth from its clergy, staff, and lay leadership. What’s more, he has helped me identify some of the reasons for this resistance and address them, encouraging us to continue to press forward as God works at St. Richard’s.
Thanks for the booster shot! I look forward to working with you and your team again!

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.
