Leave a Gift in Your Will

A Lasting Gift to the work of Reading Gateway Church

Large or small, every gift in every Will makes a difference

For generations, Reading Gateway Church has been a place of worship, welcome and community. By remembering the Church in your Will, you help ensure that our ministry and mission continue for future generations.

Our PCC has adopted a written Legacy Policy confirming that gifts in Wills are used to make a lasting difference and, because needs change over time, encourages gifts to be left for the general purposes of the church.

If you leave a gift to Reading Gateway Church, it will always be used for the life, ministry and mission of this church

A legacy gift could help our church:

  • Serve the local community
  • Grow its ministry and mission
  • Carry out vital refurbishments

Why Every Christian Should Have a Will

For nearly 500 years, the Church of England has encouraged people to make a Will.

Making a Will and keeping it updated is an important part of Christian stewardship. It ensures that your wishes are carried out after your death, provides for your loved ones, and enables you to support the causes that matter most to you.

Having a Will gives peace of mind and allows you to make thoughtful, prayerful decisions about the legacy you leave behind.
