How you can make a Lasting Gift to our Churches

A Lasting Gift

We welcome all gifts in wills, however large or small, and we promise to use your gift to make a difference in our churches.

Your Churches, Your Gift

Many people give regularly to the mission and ministry of our churches. We are stewards of everything we own, not just our income, and gifts in wills are a natural part of that giving. They are a valuable and lasting way to invigorate the life of our churches, and transform their future. 

Our policy is to use gifts in wills to help fund significant development projects in the Mission Community. Since needs change over the years, we encourage church members to leave a gift in your will for the general purposes of a specific church, rather than for a restricted purpose.

3 simple steps

We encourage every adult church member to:

  1. Make a will and review it regularly.

  2. Consider leaving a gift to one of our churches.

  3. Request a free information pack.
