Our Mission & Goals

7 out of 10 People Die Without an Estate Plan in Place

This means they miss the opportunity to decide what happens to their assets — to use them to bless the next generation of believers.

Through faith-based estate planning, planned giving guidance, church fund management, and more, the Tennessee Baptist Foundation helps individuals, churches, and associations build strong bridges to the future, expanding their Kingdom impact for years to come.

Not everyone with an estate has a plan. Do you?

Most people that don’t have an estate plan

  • Are too busy with their lives
  • Believe they don’t own much
  • Think it will be expensive
  • Don’t like legal documents
  • Aren’t planning to die

Biblical Stewardship

As Christians, we understand that God is the Creator and, therefor, the owner of all things. While we are on earth, we are merely managers of the things we have under our control.

Therefore Christians should plan where your assets will go after death.

Estate plans allow you to plan where your money and assets go when you no longer need them.
