Legacy Planning

The Importance of Legacy Planning

We are called to use our time, financial resources, and talents to glorify God and serve His Kingdom. An underutilized aspect of wise, biblical financial planning is the creation of an estate plan. A well-considered estate plan extends that Kingdom mindset through the medical and financial complexities of every stage of life.

Creation of an estate plan is a highly personal process. Each individual and family must make decisions that they feel will best steward what they have for the glory of Jesus and the care of their loved ones. An estate plan can be as simple as a Will, but in many cases should also include documents to aid in health and end-of-life decisions such as Power of Attorney, Living Will, Living Trust, and others. An estate plan should also consider legal and tax implications.

It is our prayer and desire that every one of our members would put in place an estate plan that leaves a legacy of faithfulness to Christ shaped by a lifetime of knowing and following Him. For that reason, we've established a ministry partnership with PhilanthroCorp to help you walk through the estate planning process. Most of us would benefit from the comprehensive, personalized assistance of PhilanthroCorp's estate-planning specialists. However, we also believe that every Christian family should establish a basic Last Will & Testament to faithfully steward the resources that God has given them. PhilanthroCorp offers both of these options.
