David's prayer of praise demonstrates faithful stewardship- all we possess belongs to the Lord.

14 But who am I, and who are my people, that we could give anything to you? Everything we have has come from you, and we give you only what you first gave us!

What do we mean when we say the Foundation resources ministry through Planned Giving?

This term, for our purposes, means gifts to ministry through one of a variety of tools such as wills, donor-advised funds, endowments, etc. This kind of giving is very intentional and usually planned in advance versus one-time cash gifts. Planned giving often supports churches and ministries in more sustainable ways by maximizing the impact of gifts.

Planned giving propels resources into the future of the church. That is a mission to celebrate!🎉
