Girl With Father

The Joshua Foundation accepts and manages contributions intended for the long-term operation of Second Baptist Church. In order to share the Gospel of Christ and continue the ministries of our church, we must look beyond our current tithes and offerings to the future.

As you make estate and financial plans, consider the following gifts to maximize the financial blessings you leave to both your family and to your Second family tomorrow: Cash, Retirement Assets, Securities, Charitable Remainder Trusts, Life Insurance, Charitable Lead Trusts, Personal Property, and Real Property.

Accordingly, we will work with you and/or your representatives to determine the best way for you to make a planned gift to the Joshua Foundation—a lasting legacy for Jesus Christ. To learn more contact Elizabeth Carlyle at 713-365-2332 or ecarlyle@second.org.
