Leaving a Gift in Your Will
Once you have made provision for your loved ones, you have the opportunity to make a lasting gift to God, by leaving a legacy to His church. Leaving a gift in your Will to St Paul's is one of the most valuable and lasting ways you can continue to support the mission and ministry in your community. A gift can be an expression of your gratitude and thanksgiving towards God, and can help keep your local church alive, and help transform its future.
Making a Difference
For many churches, regular giving is absorbed in ‘keeping the show on the road’. This usually involves everyday activities such as paying the parish share, insuring and heating the building, repairing the roof etc. A gift from your estate is different. We will always use legacy gifts on special projects not on everyday expenditure. For example, a gift in your Will could support your church’s ministry to young people, help our ministry in the community, refurbish the kitchen, support an overseas mission partner, help to reorder the church, or equip the church with new Bibles. No matter how large or small, each gift can make a significant impact on our mission and ministry, and maintaining our spiritual heritage. Every legacy gift is also free from inheritance tax.
Please consider how a gift in your Will could help your church meet the needs of future generations.
