Planned Giving Opportunities

Giving to the Lord’s Work

To plan for the future with one’s resources is biblically sound and prudent on the part of the giver. We give these gifts eternal significance when we carefully plan and act as good stewards of the resources God’s given us. This kind of planning based on scriptural principles, is vital and basic.

Not only does the charity you designate benefit you the giver but also benefits the charity of your choice. Planned Giving offers special benefits for those who give and must be right for them in order to be genuine. The question arises: “Is it valid for a Christian to make a gift which includes benefits for the giver as well as the receiver?” No where in the scriptures is prudence in giving condemned, nor does the Bible commend a “loss mentality” relating to the thing given.

We can help you choose from a variety of opportunities in order to best meet your giving needs as well as the needs of others. Regardless of the size of your estate, there is a Planned Giving method which will fit your situation. Experience the joy of giving now and in the future as you consider a Planned Gift Agreement tailored to your resources.
