Don't Have a Will Yet?

Our mission is to exalt Jesus Christ as Lord, obey His Word, and encourage and equip each believer for the work of ministry. God has given us a clear threefold mandate that guides our every effort:

Why Having a Will is Essential

Without a will, state law decides how your assets are distributed – not you or your family. This means:

  • Your assets may not go where you intended
  • Legal complications and delays for your loved ones
  • Higher costs and court supervision of your estate
  • No provision for charitable giving to causes you care about

The Importance of Estate Planning

Creating a will ensures:

  • Your wishes are honored regarding asset distribution
  • Your family is protected and provided for
  • Guardianship decisions are made for minor children
  • Charitable legacy continues your Kingdom impact
  • Reduced stress for loved ones during difficult times

Creating a will is one of the most loving things you can do for your family.
