Naming The Mother Church in your will or revocable trust is the easiest way to support The Mother Church after your lifetime when you no longer have need of your assets.
A gift through your Will, also known as a Bequest, or revocable trust can be:
- Easy to arrange
- Will not alter your current income or lifestyle
- Can be easily modified to address changing needs
Below is the language to use in your Will or revocable trust, or share with your attorney:
The Official Bequest Language is:
“I give, devise and bequeath [$_______ or ____% or the rest and residue of my estate] to The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, 210 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts, to be placed in [choose option: General Fund, Endowment Fund or Monitor Operating Fund], for the purpose of promoting and extending the religion of Christian Science as taught by Mary Baker Eddy.”
