"Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things
not seen. Indeed, by our faith our ancestors received approval."
-Hebrews 11:1-2

What is The Hebrews 11 Society?

The Hebrews 11 Society is comprised of people who have shown their faith “in things hoped for” by giving, or planning to give, a legacy gift to the endowment of First United Methodist Church. A legacy gift invests in a future that cannot yet be seen, trusting in God to carry on the work of this church for generations to come. 
 
Legacy gifts are invested in a permanent fund so that the earnings can support upkeep and maintenance of our beautiful, historic building and grounds. Our physical plant gives our ministries a home where they can flourish for generations to come. 

legacy giving is far more than a transaction, it is:

AN EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE

All of us are indebted to the past, to those who precede us. We enjoy liberties we have not won. We share faith whose foundations we have not laid.

A TESTIMONY

We are called to partner in faith with those who have gone before us, to support this church’s mission–making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world–even after our own lifetimes, and to offer the best that we have to give to those who will follow.

AN OPPORTUNITY

We sow seeds of the future, for those who will succeed us. We dream and envision and set things in motion. The fruition of our decisions will be known only to others whom we may never meet.
