Giving Beyond Living
Many have included Wesley United Methodist Church in their will so that their support for the work of Christ in this congregation may continue beyond their own lifetime. You may leave a charitable gift of any size to the church at the time of your death. You may also consider naming the church as a beneficiary in your will or living trust. The gift could be a set dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, the remainder after other gifts are made, or part of the estate left if your designated heirs are deceased. You may also want to name Wesley UMC as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy.

A sizeable gift can be used to establish a legacy that carries on your giving spirit after you are gone, and creating a permanent endowment could allow your life’s ministry to reach far into the future. For more information and to discuss opportunities for you to include your church and your favorite ministries in your will, contact Randy Lovell, Wills & Memorials Chair (920-589-5136).
