It is hard to believe that we are ¾ of the way through our Capital Campaign. This would not have been possible without the help of the consultant. From day one, he has been working diligently with our Pastors, Staff, and Steering Committee teaching, training and tracking our progress to the 2.1 million dollar goal. We are grateful that the Klote program provides flexibility in how and or what materials are presented to make the campaign our own. And, how important the every member visit component and full time project management approach has been to our accomplishments thus far. With the continued assistance from JD Klote & Associates, First Lutheran looks forward to celebrating a successful finish to the campaign in the near future.

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.
