STEWARDSHIP - ROOTED IN LOVE

Planned Giving

Leave a Legacy Through Planned Giving

We are grateful to generations past and present for our ability to give generously student scholarships, local and global assistance. You can make a lasting impact by contributing to First Congregational UCC Eagle River Gifts and Endowments—ensuring that the mission and ministries of our church continue for decades to come.

Gifts to the endowments are invested to provide long-term, sustainable support. The principal remains intact, while a portion of the earnings is used each year to support vital church programs, outreach, and maintenance of our facilities.
