The Christ Church Legacy Society

"A Gift that Endures Creates a Church that Endures"

Have you remembered Christ Church in your will or estate plan? Over 20

parishioners have informed us they have. Will you consider joining them?

A gift from your estate is a gift that continues to benefit the mission of Christ Church beyond your lifetime. We all want the parish to grow and thrive beyond our lifetimes; an enduring gift helps fulfill that hope.
