"The results of The Carpenter's Plan at First Baptist Church, San Antonio, TX, exceeded our expectations. Delicate issues such as estate planning were presented in a mature manner, but more importantly, with a Christian background. They have earned my enthusiastic approval and endorsement." --- Ed Dyer, Chair, Foundation, FBC SA 

The above testimonial is just one of many that The Carpenter's Plan receives after each engagement.  We provided estate planning services to the members of First Baptist Church - San Antonio for the past 11 months.  The results have been outstanding. Members have indicated that they will leave over $6.1 million dollars to the church or the foundation.  

The Carpenter's Plan wholly-integrated stewardship service for churches and para-church organizations are one-of-a-kind. 

We provide churches with guidance for capital stewardship campaigns, estate planning, or endowment services.  

The Carpenter's Plan assists church leaders to teach and implement biblical principles of handling money.  Our premise is that a church made up of members who truly understand God's guidelines for money management will always have the resources for its needed ministries.

The Carpenter's Plan approach not only results in increased annual giving but it also provides the prospective donor with a valuable estate planning service that results in successful endowment creation.

Churches also struggle with meeting budgets, building buildings, paying off debt, and supporting ministries.  The Carpenter's Plan offers stewardship training services and estate planning for churches that align with the church's vision, eliminates debt, and provides funds for ministry.

Capital Campaigns 

Some churches desire to raise funds for needed facilities or ministries.  The Carpenter's Plan Capital Stewardship Campaign is designed to be a spiritual experience for the entire church.  Our representatives utilize their ministerial background to maximize gifts and commitments for the church's specified purposes.

Estate Planning

Many nonprofit organizations are awakening to the ever-present need to teach about stewardship as it relates to donor's estates.  Currently, our statistics suggest no more than one out of one hundred Christians include the Lord's work in their Wills or estate plans.  The Carpenter's Plan has a proven program of teaching members/donors and assisting them in the joy of charitable estate planning.

Endowment Services  

Christian-based nonprofits have begun to consider the best approach for developing an endowment programs.  The Carpenter's Plan can assist nonprofits determine the most appropriate plan, given its own particular vision and mission.

Regardless of the size of the nonprofit or church, it can benefit from the services of The Carpenter's Plan.  Para-church organizations are able to provide a service to donors or prospective donors that no other nonprofit offers, that results in increased donations.  Churches can help members learn about estate planning that can perpetuate ministries they support.
