“A legacy speaks not about how we died but about how we lived. It speaks about the things that move us in life, the things that matter to us. A legacy is an expression of gratitude and thanks to God for all that has been given and enjoyed in life."
Steve Pierce, Ian Clark — The Presbyterian Foundation
The Mission
The mission of the Planned Giving Committee is to raise awareness among members and friends of the church of opportunities to glorify God and serve His purposes through the joy of giving from their accumulated resources for the present and future ministry of the church.

Since 1882, First Presbyterian Church of Gastonia has stood as a leader in Gaston County’s faith community. It is a Christ-centered ministry that spreads God’s Word and embodies His love throughout this area and the world. To help ensure that this ministry will continue even after we are gone, we invite you to consider including the church in your estate planning. The Planned Giving Ministry will provide information and support to help you find the best way to make a gift that fits your interests and circumstances.
Please email or call the church’s Business Administrator at [email protected] or 704-864-2651 and he will put you in touch with a member of the Planned Giving Ministry. We look forward to talking to you! |
