A Legacy for the Future Through Planned Giving and Special Gifts
God blesses us in many ways. He gives us family, the relationship of friends and colleagues, health and well being, financial resources, and more. Most of all, He gives us His unconditional grace and love. In return, we strive to be good stewards by giving regularly to Hope and perhaps, other Christian endeavors.
In addition to our tithes and offerings, there are times when a special gift seems appropriate. It may be to honor or memorialize a loved one; celebrate an event; or in thanksgiving for a specific blessing. The Hope Fund has more than 40 Session-approved projects and programs that would welcome your gift.
We are also blessed by the value we build in the things we own: houses, businesses, cars, stock and bond portfolios, retirement accounts, insurance policies, etc. With thoughtful and prayerful financial planning we have an opportunity to maximize the value of our estate and to share it with family, friends, and organizations such as Hope Church.
If Hope Church has been meaningful to your faith and you would like to Leave a Legacy that likewise nurtures the faith of future generations, you can accomplish this by including Hope in your will.
For information on the Hope Fund or leaving a legacy, please call the church administrator at Hope Presbyterian Church. You may also download our brochure.
Planned Giving
Stewardship of our resources is an integral part of our commitment to our Lord. Placing a portion of our financial blessings into the Hope Fund ensures that our legacy will continue into the future. Thoughtful and prayerful financial planning of your estate will impact Hope’s ministry for years to come. Your legacy to Hope Church will nurture the faith of future generations as we seek to live out our purpose to be “a community overflowing with Spirit-given hope, where people are becoming fully-devoted followers of Jesus Christ."
How to Give
The best gift is one that is appropriate—one that fits your particular circumstances. The Church seeks and encourages small gifts as well as large gifts. Gifts may be undesignated or directed to one or more of the Session-approved Hope Fund accounts. Unrestricted gifts are especially valued since they make it possible to match need and resources with greater flexibility.
• Cash: You may choose to make a single gift or a repetitive gift.
• Bequest in Your Will: Bequests can be made in a will or through a codicil (supplement) to an existing will.
• Stocks, Bonds, and Real Estate: Investments that have appreciated allow for a tax deduction for the current market value without incurring tax on the capital gain.
