Where There's a Will... There's a Way!

August is National Make-A-Will Month, a timely reminder that one of the most important gifts we can give our loved ones is a clear plan for the future. Whether through a will or a living trust, having an up-to-date estate plan helps ensure that your wishes are honored, your family is cared for, and unnecessary burdens are minimized during a difficult time.

Yet many adults have not created a will, and others may have documents that no longer reflect their current circumstances. Major life events such as marriage, the birth of children or grandchildren, retirement, or changes in finances can all make it important to review and update your estate plans.

A will or living trust is more than a legal document. It is an opportunity to thoughtfully steward the resources God has entrusted to you. For many faithful supporters of Nazarene Bible College, estate planning also becomes a way to extend their Christian legacy and invest in future generations.

One meaningful option is to include NBC as a beneficiary in your will, trust, retirement account, or other estate plan. Legacy gifts of every size help provide scholarships, strengthen academic programs, support student resources, and prepare future pastors, missionaries, and Christian leaders for effective ministry around the world.

The impact of these gifts reaches far beyond a single generation. A planned gift can help ensure that students continue to receive a Christ-centered education and graduate equipped to serve God's kingdom for years to come.

As you consider your estate planning goals, we encourage you to reflect on the causes and ministries that have shaped your life and faith. Including Nazarene Bible College in your plans is a powerful way to leave a lasting legacy that continues to make a difference long after your lifetime.
