Impact Report

Remembering Resurrection Through an Estate Gift

2024

Leaving
a Legacy

The Resurrection Foundation was established with the purpose to create and endow a lasting impact on the church’s ministry and mission. Have you thought about remembering Resurrection in your estate? What would you like your legacy to be? Be a part of God’s work for generations to come through Resurrection. 

A MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR

I am filled with gratitude for the incredible ways God has worked through the Resurrection Foundation. This past year, we had the privilege of coming alongside the church’s Do Unto Others campaign, stewarding the resources entrusted to us with faithfulness and care. Through this commitment, we have witnessed transformation that would not have been possible without the generosity of those who made the profound decision to remember Resurrection in their estate and join the Legacy Society. 

Each year, the Foundation centers itself around a guiding scripture, and in 2024, we anchored ourselves in these words from Matthew 7:12: “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets” (NIV). 

This powerful reminder shaped our work and deepened our responsibility to create a world that reflects God’s vision. Because of the generosity of Legacy Society members, lives have changed. On the page below, you will see the tangible impact of faithfulness – stories of transformation, compassion, and legacy. 

As you prayerfully consider your own legacy, I invite you to reflect on how you might be part of this ongoing mission. By including Resurrection in your estate planning, you ensure that the love of Christ continues to reach future generations. 

It is an honor to serve alongside you in this sacred calling, and I thank you for your trust, faith, and commitment to God’s work through the Resurrection Foundation.

With gratitude,

2025 Board Chairperson

I invite you to consider remembering Resurrection in your estate plans. By remembering the church in your will, you provide a gift that goes back to God and is one final expression of gratitude for what God has done in your life.
