Planned Giving: Leave a Legacy

"From everyone to whom much has been given, much is expected." – Luke 12:48

Your Gifts Matter

Vision Partners: Those who have established a planned gift through their will, trust or other means to provide future benefit to Mount Olivet Lutheran Church and/or its affiliate organizations.

In keeping with Mount Olivet’s credo, Vision Partners are….

Believing
Vision Partners are individuals who express their faith in Jesus Christ through a lasting commitment—choosing to leave a planned gift to Mount Olivet Lutheran Church or its affiliated ministries. Through their belief, they affirm the importance of sustaining Christ’s work for future generations, trusting in God’s purpose and provision.

Belonging
By becoming Vision Partners, donors join a special community dedicated to the shared mission of Mount Olivet. Their legacy strengthens the bonds within the church and its ministries—places like Cathedral of the Pines Camp and Mount Olivet Careview, Mount Olivet Conference & Retreat Center and Mount Olivet Rolling Acres—fostering a sense of belonging rooted in love, generosity, and mutual care.

Becoming
Through acts of planned giving, Vision Partners embrace servanthood, becoming more like Christ in their desire to give back. Their gifts ensure that the church and Mount Olivet affiliate organizations can continue to grow, serve, and transform lives. This journey of becoming is a faithful step toward leaving a meaningful legacy of compassion and hope.

Thank you for your intentional consideration of providing impact on future generations through Mount Olivet’s mission by becoming a Vision Partner!
