Through a will, many people also choose to leave a part of their estate to St. Paul's Episcopal Church and make an impact on the causes they love, for years to come.

Planned giving helps fuel St. Paul’s Episcopal Church’s mission
Planned and legacy gifts allow you to invest in Christ’s work while making a lasting difference. They strengthen ministries, support those in need, and help Christ’s love extend through St. Paul’s today and for generations. Many planned gifts also offer tax advantages, allowing your generosity to go further while supporting your financial goals.
Your planned gift empowers St. Paul’s ministries today and shapes the Church for generations to come. Gifts of stock, real estate, life insurance, or estate gifts help Christ’s love reach farther in our community.
