Planned and Legacy Giving

Leave a legacy of faith, now or beyond your lifetime, while reflecting your values and priorities. As a part of your planned giving (inheritance, estate, wills, etc.), gifts can be designated to the following funds:

Church Ministries Fund Used to launch new ministries or expand and enhance existing ministries. This fund will provide initial funding for ministry expansion while long-term funding will be supported with general funds of the church. This fund is not intended to replace ministry funding through regular tithes and offerings.

Missions Fund Intended to supplement regular missions giving and can be used for Work and Witness, direct missionary gifts, or other mission oriented projects designed to take the Gospel throughout the world.

Church Property Fund Used for capital expenditures such as building, land or equipment with an expected life of ten years or more. This could include new acquisitions, facility additions or major repairs such as roof or HVAC replacement.

Benevolent/Compassionate Needs Donations will be used to supply needs for those in our congregation and in our community.

Unrestricted Fund Gifts will be used as determined by the Church Board for future ministry needs.

------

Trinity Church of the Nazarene reserves the right to refuse any donation for any reason. To ensure all gifts are effectively used, no gift will be accepted that is unduly restrictive, likely to result in a net loss for the church, or may be designated for a purpose outside the mission of the church.
