Resurrection Foundation and Your Legacy of Faith
The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection Foundation, a Kansas nonprofit corporation, was established in 2002 to identify and develop opportunities for planned giving. Our purpose is to endow and support the future needs of our church’s ministry and mission by encouraging our members to remember Resurrection in their will.
What is our Resurrection Foundation?
- Our five-member Board of Directors is elected annually to serve to secure our church’s future financial needs for mission, ministry, and facility needs.
- Our mission is to invite the long-range financial support necessary to carry out our purpose of changing lives, transforming the community and bringing renewal for the mainline church.
- Our vision for Resurrection is to provide future funding that will bring a greater good, to a greater number, for the greater glory of God. (Matthew 22:37)
- Our challenge is to promote congregational planned giving through various types of gifts that result in improved stewardship and generosity.
- Our Executive Pastor of Generosity serves on the Board of Directors and is available to assist anyone who is interested in making a planned gift.
How can planned giving benefit you?
- Planned giving is generosity for the future. It is about planning well, giving wisely, and receiving in the process.
- Establishing a planned gift brings immediate joy and the long-term assurance that your gift will continue to support your church long after you pass into eternity.
- Your gift may be undesignated for the broad benefit of the church so that it can serve the most immediate future needs, or your gift can be designated for any ministry, mission or facility need.
Consider these amazing advantages:

- Increased income and effective rate of return
- Tithing your estate is an inspiring witness
