Legacy Gifts

A Legacy Gift is a future contribution planned by you to benefit the work and mission of Second Presbyterian Church. A planned or estate gift can be as simple as including Second Presbyterian Church in your will, or by naming Second as a beneficiary of a retirement fund or life insurance policy. Gifts to Second can even benefit you during your lifetime such as a Charitable Gift Annuity which pays you a fixed rate annually with the remainder benefitting the church at your death.

The Beecher Society

The Beecher Society is named for Second’s first pastor, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and honors members and friends who have notified Second that they have included a gift to Second Presbyterian Church in their estate plans. The Beecher Society gathers for fun events during the year, is honored at Church events, and receives newsletters and remembrances on special occasions. To join the Beecher Society, please notify the Office of Stewardship and Endowment that you have included, or would like to include, a gift to Second Presbyterian in your estate plans.
