Welcome to FBC

Charitable Giving Tip Reflecting Your Values in Estate Plans

The Arkansas Baptist Foundation encourages individuals to reflect their lifetime values in their

estate plans. An individual's revocable trust or Will is the final statement that he/she makes in

this earthly life about what is important. This final act of stewardship for a Christian will likely

include family and ministry.

The Foundation helps provide estate planning drafts to individuals based upon their objectives

when those objectives include leaving at least ten percent of their estate to God's work. Those

individuals then meet with their attorney about the drafts provided by the Foundation.

For more information on reflecting your values in estate plans, please call the Arkansas Baptist

Foundation at (800) 798-0969 or (501) 376-0732.

Thank You

The church has received a

message of thanks from

Mitchell & Stephanie Nail for

considerations during their

battle with leukemia.

War romance and adventure in the second of his Last

completely change his reckless ways? And, will he be

able to convince a beautiful but wary Chantel Fortier of
