My wife and I have had the honor to meet with the consultant and others to help fund raise money to improve our church at St Thomas’. His presentation at the church group, and couple/family meetings were a breath of fresh air. He made Carolyn and I feel at ease during our family meeting; no pressure what so ever.
The consultant’s time, direction, expertise, and commitment is just what St. Thomas’ needed to help/assist our church community to move forward on this huge undertaking. He makes himself available for questions or concerns. He is visible during church, and participates/helps in the many church activities we have had, including our first Gala celebrating St. Thomas’ 125th Birthday.
We have been blessed with the consultant’s never ending desire and focus to help St Thomas’.

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.
