Money Resources

If you don’t have a plan for your money during your life and after, rest assured. The IRS and the State of California do. And the Evil One has a plan too. We encourage you to get Christian advice to help you manage God’s gifts in a way that glorifies God and matches your heart’s desires.

FINANCIAL & ESTATE PLANNING GUIDANCE

Whether you are seeking to get out of debt, seeking to maximize returns, or are considering a gift to the Endowment Fund, you are encouraged to seek professional advice in putting together a plan that is best suited to your personal situation.

Gift Planning Gems: We are Heirs of the Kingdom with Christ

Do you have a current will? Have you thought about setting up a trust? Are you aware of the burden that your children will bare as trustees/executors of your estate? Many people think about these questions yet put them off for various reasons. I will help you organize your estate and maximize the amount that goes to your family, heirs and to God. As heirs with Christ of God's blessings, it is our responsibility to do the proper planning so that when God calls us home, we have our affairs in order. Does your current plan disinherit God from the gifts He has blessed you with? Does your estate plan reflect and extend your Christian views as a good steward?

God has a plan for all of us and this creates a powerful responsibility for us. Managing, planning and praying are the cornerstones of a good estate plan that can be pleasing to God. Let's sit down and start on those plans that will benefit all those people and organizations that are close to you.

Email Brian K. Hyde, Planned Giving Counselor-LCMS Foundation CNH District, or phone the Ministry center at 925-245-4000, Ext. 4016.
