Ways to give
Thank you for considering Converge North Central! We help people meet, know and follow Jesus Christ by starting and strengthening churches together worldwide.
Whether large or small, your gifts play a vital part in sharing Jesus with those who have not yet heard or believed. Your gifts to Converge North Central help start new churches — now being planted at a pace of one new church each week in the United States, and at an even greater pace in several overseas nations — and strengthen the work and ministry of our established churches.
Give a special one-time gift, or set up recurring automatic direct giving to our general fund, church planters, ministries or camps.

BEQUESTS
Through your Last Will and Testament, you can leave a time-honored, lasting legacy to Converge and be remembered after you go home to be with the Lord. Such charitable bequests generate an estate tax deduction.
LIFE INSURANCE
This is one of the easiest ways to give a generous gift. You may give a policy you already own, assign the dividends as a gift or name Converge as a beneficiary. Upon your death, the cash proceeds are given promptly and directly to Converge, without tax liability or administrative costs.
CHARITABLE TRUSTS
A Charitable Trust is a creative, tax-smart solution that provides both charitable giving to Converge and income for you or your heirs. Generally, it is best to fund Charitable Trusts with highly appreciated assets, such as stock or real estate, in which you have a low-cost basis.
CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITIES
A gift annuity works like an annuity purchased from an insurance company. You enter into a contract with our annuity partner to transfer cash or appreciated property to Converge, in exchange for guaranteed specific income payments for life to you or a designated beneficiary.
