Legacy Ministry Training

“Due West UMC enrolled in the Foundation’s Legacy Ministry Training Program to increase the likelihood of success in building an endowment of lasting value. Using the videos and related support materials helped us as a committee to stay on track. While the concept of an endowment is quite simple, creating the framework to sustain it is far more complex and requires thorough due diligence. The Foundation’s tools and readily available phone consultations greatly benefited our church as it would any other Methodist community of believers.”

“The training has taken us step-by-step through the process of understanding endowments, preparing materials and presentations, and formulating our brochure, website and marketing plans. Thanks to the Foundation, we’re providing an avenue for people to further God’s kingdom and making provisions for future generations to grow in their faith and spirituality. Churches that do not develop a planned giving program are missing a big opportunity to fund current and future ministries. They are also denying their members the opportunity to give back to their church in a very significant and special way, whether it’s a gift made while they are living or through a bequest to honor and thank God for all He has given.”
