SIGN UP FOR AN EDUCATIONAL WEBINAR

Sign up for one of our Living Trust Webinars:
June 4, 2026
HAVING A PLAN IN PLACE MAKES SENSE
Almost every adult can benefit from having a will or trust, regardless of a person’s financial situation or season of life. It is never too early (or too late) to make a plan that will ensure your wishes are carried out and your loved ones are well cared for after you are gone. Perhaps most importantly, your plan can be a way to honor God with the assets He has given you to make a lasting impact for eternity.
Every year, 6 out of 10 Americans pass away without ever having prepared a valid will or trust. MCC wants to help change this statistic.
IT IS A SIMPLE PROCESS
MCC has taken steps to make it simple for you to create a trust at no out-of-pocket costs. MCC partners with Financial Planning Ministry (FPM), a nonprofit organization that provides estate planning services including the drawing up of revocable living trusts. FPM has successfully assisted more than 40,000 families of the Christian community for 40 years, including many MCC staff and supporters. There is no cost to you because the college pays for the service on your behalf. FPM simply asks you to consider leaving a modest percentage gift from your estate to one of their ministry partners like MCC. This donation will not be distributed from your estate until after you (and, if applicable, your spouse’s) passing.
UNSURE IF A WILL OR TRUST IS BEST FOR YOU?
For some, a trust makes sense. For others, a will may be the best choice. If you are unsure which type of document you need, the Living Trust Educational Webinar can help you decide.
We can’t predict the future, but we can plan for it. Financial Planning Ministry (FPM) takes the mystery out of estate planning, guiding you and your family through a straightforward process allowing you to design a legacy plan that protects and blesses your family while honoring God.
NO OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE FOR YOUR DOCUMENTS
Whether you have an estate plan in place or not, we invite you to take a fresh look at the facts and let us help you address your planning priorities and challenges. After attending the webinar, you will have the opportunity to schedule a follow-up appointment. Then to request that FPM prepare or update your own estate plan at no out-of-pocket cost. Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity!
