Bequests

If you would like to make a bequest to fund the Church activities, we will invest it safely with a respected third-party firm, to earn modestly while it is used over time. If you’re considering a gift, please be advised that we will need to know the following:

  • The activity or activities you’d like to support: missions, youth, music, the general operating fund (unrestricted), etc.
  • The way you’d like it used: Whether you’d like to have both principal and interest distributed to the activities in the amounts needed, small or large, or whether you’d like to leave the principal untouched over time and only the annual earnings distributed.  You may also do both, in separate amounts.
  • The group who will receive and manage your gift:  You can give directly to the Church, with the gift managed by the Church Board of Trustees or give to the LJUMC Foundation, which is a separate entity, with the gift managed by a Board of Directors.   You may also give to both, in separate amounts.

When you’re ready, please contact the lead pastor or click on the Foundation button, below.
