A Gift That Lasts Beyond a Lifetime

Simple Beneficiary Designations Can Help Shape Future Christian Leaders

Many friends of Nazarene Bible College have a desire to support the mission of preparing men and women for Christian ministry long after their lifetime. What often surprises people is that creating a meaningful future gift does not require great wealth, complex legal documents, or a major change to their current financial plans.

One of the simplest ways to leave a lasting legacy is through a beneficiary designation. By naming Nazarene Bible College as a beneficiary of certain accounts, you can help provide biblical education and ministry training for future generations while retaining full control of your assets during your lifetime.

Consider these simple options:

• Retirement Accounts such as IRAs, 401(k)s, and 403(b)s often allow you to name one or more beneficiaries. You may choose to designate NBC for all or a percentage of the account balance.
• Life Insurance Policies can provide an impactful future gift simply by naming NBC as a full or partial beneficiary.
• Bank Accounts may allow a payable-on-death (POD) designation so that a percentage of the account can pass directly to the College.
• Investment Accounts often provide transfer-on-death (TOD) beneficiary options that can be updated through your financial institution.

For many NBC supporters, completing a beneficiary designation form takes only a short amount of time, costs nothing to establish, and can generally be revised if circumstances change. Most importantly, it allows you to make a future investment in Christ-centered higher education without affecting your current financial needs.

Every student who comes to Nazarene Bible College represents an opportunity to advance the Gospel through local churches, ministries, and communities around the world. A beneficiary designation made today can help ensure that our critical mission continues for years to come.
