The Legacy Group

God has called members of the Prince of Peace community to leave a lasting legacy through gifts such as bequests, planned gifts, or designated contributions for future ministry. Faith Forward Foundation provides a trusted and prayerful way to turn generosity into long-term impact.

Those who choose to include Prince of Peace in their financial legacy are invited to be part of the Legacy Group. This confidential, invitation-only group gathers periodically with Foundation leaders and the Senior Pastor to:

  • Share personal passions and ministry interests

  • Learn about emerging mission opportunities beyond current budget resources

  • See how legacy gifts are bringing new ministries to life

Legacy Group participants and Foundation Directors meet at least once a year to reflect on funded projects and dream together about what God might do next. Participation is always confidential.
