Estate Planning Services
You wouldn’t plant an orchard without knowing there’d be people and money to care for and develop it in years to come. Including the Christian Reformed Church Foundation in your estate plan will provide people and money to cultivate and catalyze what God’s already begun through the denomination you love and pray for.
The Christian Reformed Church Foundation does not offer estate planning services but partners with Barnabas Foundation, and, in Canada, with Christian Stewardship Services, to help families make planned gifts and develop estate plans.
Barnabas Foundation
Barnabas Foundation is committed to the principles of Christian stewardship. Every discussion of using “our resources” is based upon the recognition that God owns everything and we are God’s stewards. It is our responsibility to manage the assets entrusted to us. From this stewardship perspective, Barnabas Foundation:
- helps Christians accomplish their individual and family estate planning goals
- assumes complete confidentiality in the planning process
- does not sell or promote any particular financial or investment product
- provides planning services free of charge
- does not ask for gifts
For more than 25 years, Barnabas Foundation has helped Christians support ministries they care about. Based on this experience, Barnabas Foundation provides:
- clear and easy-to-understand planning information
- answers to your estate planning questions
- estate planning visits in your home
- professionals with estate planning experience
- tax calculations and illustrations for charitable gifts
- competent local Christian attorney referral choices
You can contact the Barnabas Foundation by postal mail at 18601 North Creek Drive, Suite B, Tinley Park, IL 60477-6399. You can also contact them by toll free phone, 888-448-3040, or online, www.barnabasfoundation.com.
Christian Stewardship Services
