Leave a Legacy That Lasts

Have you ever thought about how your faith and values could live on beyond your lifetime?

Leaving a gift in your will - known as a legacy gift - is a meaningful way to help ensure the future of our church and its mission for years to come.

Why Leave a Legacy?

Our church is more than just a building. It’s a spiritual home, a number of centres of community life, and a source of hope for many. By choosing to leave a gift in your will, you are investing in the things that matter most: faith, love, compassion, and service to others.

Legacy gifts help us:

  • Continue sharing the message of Jesus with future generations

  • Support our children’s and youth ministries

  • Provide care and support to the vulnerable in our community

  • Maintain and develop our buildings and facilities

  • Fund new initiatives that help people find hope and healing

Every gift, large or small, plays a part in building God’s Kingdom here on earth.

A Reflection of Your Faith

Including a gift to the church in your will is a deeply personal and spiritual decision. It’s a way of expressing gratitude to God for all you have received and passing that blessing on to others. It’s not about the amount - it’s about the heart behind it.

How to Leave a Gift

Leaving a legacy is straightforward. You simply include the church as a beneficiary when you write or update your will. We recommend speaking with a solicitor or legal advisor to ensure your wishes are clearly recorded. You’ll need our full name and charity number: Rising Brook Baptist Church - Charity Number 1136190

There are different types of gifts you might consider:

  • A percentage of your estate (after other gifts and expenses)

  • A fixed sum of money

  • A specific item (such as property or valuables)

You can also make changes to your will at any time, so your plans remain flexible.
