Legacy Planning

First Baptist Church has partnered with The Baptist Foundation of Alabama to provide a unique opportunity for our church family. They offer free coaching on wills, advanced directives, living wills, estate planning and giving. They will help you prepare your documents and refer you to a reliable, local attorney to complete the process. You will receive a leather-bound portfolio to keep all of your important documents safe. Check out this quick video that helps explain why legacy giving is so important, how easy it can be, and our process.

“We initially resisted connecting our need with The Baptist Foundation's expertise. We quickly learned that this isn’t odd or fishy, and your educational background or estate size is not important. We were blessed by the process and are confident in the plans that we had made.”

“We went through the estate planning process with The Baptist Foundation a few years ago. With their help and expertise, we were able to develop a plan that not only provides for our children, but also includes an eternal investment in the on-going work of the Church. Whether you have an estate plan in place or not, we strongly recommend that everyone experience this planning process from a Christian perspective.”

“Being a banker, the thoughts about all the potential legalities and complexity were barriers we faced. The process seemed so complicated. Having trust in Pastor Jay and the experience of others from the church helped us feel comfortable in taking the initial step with The Baptist Foundation. This was the best and easiest thing to do!”

"This is a great service that every FBC family needs to take advantage of. The Estate Specialist helped us think through some great questions with no pressure. It’s a great opportunity and reminder of the importance to have your plan written down so that when the time comes, be it a medical situation or death, decisions are already made. This practical and valuable service allowed us to be good stewards of what God has given us."

Billy & Camilla IrvinFirst Baptist Members

"We had created wills many years prior and knew we needed to make changes, but we weren’t exactly sure where to start. We had an excellent estate planning experience! The process was so easy, and we appreciated having experts guide us step-by-step. This service makes the process understandable. Additionally, we felt like the Estate Specialists understood us, as we worked with believers who understood our Christian perspective. We would highly encourage others to utilize this service.”
