Establishing a lasting legacy for your church
Your church has a unique vision, which God wants to fulfill. It’s about legacy and ensuring that this vision is supported and that it carries on from generation to generation. An estate planning ministry helps to ensure your legacy will carry on while providing a much-needed service to your church family members. In this episode of Stewardship Leader, Mike Prior from Financial Planning Ministry explains how an estate planning ministry can be a tremendous benefit to your members now and to your church for years to come.
What you will hear on this podcast
“There are really two avenues to consider; what estate planning is to the individual, and what estate planning is concerning ministry or para-church ministry.”
“Estate planning is not all about the dollars. It’s gotten that reputation because for decades development departments have sought out the high net worth donor, and that gives everything an ora that it must be big money. ”
“Estate planning is mostly about bringing a responsible plan to you, your estate and your assets, that will protect you and your family.”
“There’s probably not a more expansive opportunity for an individual to express the love that they have for a ministry or ministries that they supported for years than to also include those ministries in their estate plans.”
“We found that it is very good to weave this into the fabric of the stewardship ministry to continue to offer it continually to their members.”
“We have thousands of responses from church members who have participated and are grateful to the various ministries we work with for providing this service to them.”
