Bequests

Another way to give to support Christ’s mission is to make Christ Church St Ives a beneficiary in your Will.

Please obtain appropriate financial and legal advice as you prepare your Will. If you or your solicitor is seeking suggested wording as a starting point, we offer the following:

I give $_______________ to Christ Church St Ives of 1 Cowan Road, St Ives NSW 2075 for the general purposes thereof and the receipt executed on behalf of Christ Church St Ives ABN 41 7641 957 03 shall be sufficient discharge for my Executor/Trustee and my Executor/Trustee shall not be bound to see the application of the said gift.

It is also possible to make a gift in memory of a loved one who attended Christ Church Ives. Gifts can be made to support a particular initiative or project, or for general church use. If you would like to make a gift in memory of a loved one for a specific purpose or initiative, please feel free to discuss this with the Senior Minister or a Warden at your convenience. 

Our Senior Minister, Nigel Fortescue, recommends "God's Will and Yours" as a starting point for further reading and prayer. Click below for a free download (pdf).
