The First Pres
Legacy Giving Program
You can help fund the ministries and missions of First Pres for generations to come by becoming a part of our Legacy Giving Program. Think, for a moment, what your vision would be for First Pres. Think of the needs that could be met and the people who could be served over the next 10, 20, 50 or more years from now. Your charitable bequests, permanent endowment funds, a donor-advised fund, or other financial gifts can make your vision a reality.
With a will or legacy gift, you help create a better future for your church by making a lasting impression on your faith community here at First Pres, as well as in West Chester and in all of the areas served by our ministries.
Making a financial gift — of any size — through your will to the First Pres Legacy Giving Program takes only a few minutes and will make a difference for many, many years. You can specify how your gift will be used. You can designate your funds for worship, music, or educational ministries. For any of the First Pres missions. Or, simply for the church’s investment or operational accounts.
