Planned Giving
At Ascension, we are blessed with a community in which love grows and is shared through worship and ministry. We are blessed to be stewards of a legacy of love that we inherited from generations before us, and we have an opportunity to continue that legacy for generations to come. With our talents and our treasures given in a thoughtful way, we can ensure that love endures.
As stewards of God's bounty, we are caretakers for a brief time. What we do with our gifts of time, energy and resources defines the character of our life and the depth of our spiritual understanding. Legacy giving is one way in which each of us can preserve that legacy. There are several ways that your generosity can create a legacy for your church and preserve a legacy for your family. With thoughtful planning, you can identify what is best for you.
Very few people need to engage in complex planning to make a legacy gift. Simply designating Ascension Memorial Church as a recipient of a portion of your IRA or 401(k), or including a bequest to Ascension in your will, ensures that love continues to grow here for years to come.
