The Deermeadows Permanent Endowment Fund was established in 2014 to accommodate the generosity of church members who desire to leave a Christian legacy that will last beyond their lifetime. Why consider leaving an estate gift to Deermeadows? The most fundamental reason may be that you love your church and want to help its mission continue. You may want to memorialize a family member or loved one, or celebrate your family’s long relationship with the church. Whatever the reason, we encourage you to consider making Deermeadows a part of your estate plan. Estate gifts may be directed as you wish, whether to the church’s general budget, endowment fund, or specific ministries through designated funds.
