Remember Central Lutheran Church Ministries
In Your Estate Plans
A Heritage of Faith for Future Generations
Many friends who share our vision understand that wise biblical stewardship extends to future generations. Through thoughtful, long-range planning, you can ensure your impact on the disciples of tomorrow while achieving your personal financial goals today. You may desire to provide for your family in the future, secure additional income now, or avoid estate and gift taxes. Central Church can help you accomplish these goals while creating a spiritual legacy that will impact Christ’s Kingdom for decades to come.
To create a heritage of faith you may wish to consider:
- providing for Central Church Ministry in your will or living trust.
- designating Central Church as a beneficiary of accounts you hold at your financial institution.
- naming Central Church as the sole or partial beneficiary of your retirement plans or life insurance.
- strategies that offer significant tax savings as well as income for life.
Please contact Mark Redal, Director of Stewardship to explore these and other gift planning opportunities.
Executing a Will for Central Lutheran Church:
Wise stewardship requires that we adequately prepare for the future. We at Central Church are diligently planning for the continuation of our ministry – ensuring that sound biblical teaching will prevail in the churches and culture of the 21st century. Through a bequest in your will or trust, your partnership can help us establish this vital mission for future generations. Such thoughtful planning will help awaken the next generation to the holiness of God and serve as a bold Christian witness to those who learn of your intention to support our work through your estate plans. Executing a will is not difficult or expensive and can be deeply rewarding. If you fail to prepare or update your will, state law determines how your assets will be divided using a formula that may not represent your wishes. Only through careful estate planning can you guarantee that your property will pass to the people and organizations that are meaningful to you.
As you work with your professional advisor, it will be helpful to note:
- Central Church Ministry operates as a non-profit organization under the laws of the State of Washington. We are qualified for tax exemption under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code. That means that your legacy gift to us removes assets from the taxable portion of your estate.
- Your bequest can be a stated dollar amount, a percentage, a specific asset, or the remainder of your estate after other distributions have been made.
- Our address is 409 North Tacoma Avenue Tacoma, WA 98403.
If you have remembered Central Church in your estate plans, please let us know. We want to acknowledge your desire to establish a spiritual legacy that will continue to advance the Kingdom of God. If you have not considered this option, why not join with other friends who have made “the ultimate gift?” Through a bequest you will maintain your support of our work, perhaps at greater levels than possible presently. We are deeply grateful for such forethought and the impact of such faithfulness to our mission.
