Few church members will receive fame and accolades the way Aretha Franklin did during her lifetime.

But every believer, no matter how meager their circumstances, can be afforded care from another believer who, in Jesus' name, says to him or her, "Let's make sure you have a will." 

By Rev. Phillip Leo, Church Communications Director

When I started seminary, the first required course was “Prolegomena,” which loosely translates from Greek to mean, “Here’s what you say before saying anything.” This makes me laugh now. Truth is, I needed that lesson!

Q. Why should I consider leaving a gift in my will?

A. Your will (or trust) is your final act of stewardship and care. Through it, you can take care of your loved ones, model a legacy of generosity and ensure your favorite ministries continue to make a difference well beyond your lifetime.
