What is the Hebrews 11 Society?

The Hebrews 11 Society is committed to securing the future of the church by giving individuals the opportunity to demonstrate their faith “in things hoped for” by giving, or planning, a legacy gift.

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.

Place Christ at the Center of your legacy!

Have you ever considered your legacy?

Most people don’t know where to begin the conversation on how to build their legacy.

The first step is considering what you want your legacy to accomplish.

The Hebrews 11 Society gives individuals a clear path to explore and establish the legacy they want to leave behind.

Are you in the planning Process?

Planned giving can feel overwhelming and complex.

The Hebrews 11 Society helps individuals navigate sensitive conversations around planned giving and their personal legacy.

Take confidence that your end of life planning is secure and supported by a body of believers.
