Making a Planned Gift

Making a planned gift is a powerful way to express your compassion and values. Your planned gift becomes a witness to your faith in Jesus Christ. Bp. Dee Pederson is available to help you plan and develop your holistic stewardship education as well as help you put together a financial generosity strategy.
