| I am writing to thank you for
helping lead Trinity United
Methodist Church’s Building Community Capital Campaign.
Our congregation has struggled with water problems in our basement and a
failing HVAC system for many years.
We’ve also wanted to renovate our gathering spaces and make our entrances and
corridors more hospitable and accessible, but were unsure how to go about
securing the funds needed to address these challenges.
With the help of our JDK&A campaign director, we have been able to raise a
significant amount of money even in the midst of an economic recession.
Our director provided excellent leadership, becoming a trusted, conscientious partner for the steering
committee, visitors, and church staff throughout the campaign.
It was helpful to have him onsite each day during the week and also for
worship and special events on the weekends.
This allowed us to communicate easily and to troubleshoot any problems we
encountered right away. I am grateful for our director's enthusiasm and expert guidance which played
a vital role in this historic achievement for our congregation! |

The Klote method is a
great way to run a capital campaign and build the leadership of
the church. The process itself helps the entire church
understand the leadership's vision for the future and invites
participation from all members. |
