Over the course of forty years of ministry, it has been my privilege to work many people and organizations. One of the best organizations is that of James D. Klote & Associates of Falls Church, Virginia. Organized to assist churches experiencing capital stewardship programs. Their efforts are marked by a love for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, an honest care for God’s people, and the ability to work hard and effectively to accomplish their task. They are truly an exceptional organization, and any church would be privileged to work with them.
An important part of the Klote effort is the embedding of a member of their team within the leadership of the congregation. In Trinity’s case, our Klote Consultant is a man of faith, a hard and effective worker, and a genial partner in accomplishing large things. He is exceptional at what he does and is a true blessing to his organization and the churches he serves.
All in all, it is a privilege for me to give my highest recommendation to James D. Klote & Associates.

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.
