Leaving a Legacy

Have you thought about these questions?

• What values would I like for the generations that follow me to continue?
• What will happen to my children in the event something happens to me?
• Do I want to continue giving to ministries I valued while I was alive?
• Who should receive my personal possessions and how much should I give?

You’re not alone if you haven’t thought about these questions, but it’s time that you started asking them and finding the answers. Our stewardship director can help you do just that.

What is Estate Planning?

Estate planning is the strategy for providing an efficient transfer of your wealth after you’re gone, but there’s a scriptural element to this that far outweighs economic considerations. The Bible teaches that we are stewards of all we have in this life, and as such, we have a responsibility to ensure that what God entrusted to us is accounted for before we leave this life.

Through estate planning services, we want to provide personalized education to help you make these choices in a biblical way—helping you distribute your legacy in the way that matters most to you.
