A legacy gift is a planned, future donation to FPC. These planned gifts can be arranged now but given later, usually through a will, trust or estate plan, life insurance, real estate, highly appreciated equities, or retirement assets. Legacy gifts allow donors to have a lasting impact on the church–beyond their lifetime.

1835 Legacy Society
To celebrate our rich history that spans over 190 years, FPC created the 1835 Legacy Society to recognize any person(s) who has designated FPC Marietta as a beneficiary in their life insurance, IRA/401(K), will, trust, or estate plan. A well-planned legacy gift is best made while you are able to collaborate with FPC to properly design and communicate in writing how your legacy may be preserved for you and your family.

Interesting in joining the 1835 Legacy Society? Follow the steps below, which are also outlined in our Legacy Gift brochure:

Step 2 – Design Your Gift: Planning your gift may enable you to send more to ministry or to protect more future value for you and your family.

Step 3 – Impact the Future: Making a planned gift will prepare and equip future generations to continue FPC’s vital ministries.
