As a member organization of the Barnabas Foundation, friends of Lynden Christian can avail themselves - at no cost - of the estate planning services offered by the Barnabas staff. The goal of the Barnabas Foundation is to "assist Christian people in extending their lifelong pattern of good Christian stewardship into their wills and estate plans."

A Barnabas representative will meet with individuals or couples, offering free and confidential guidance in meeting personal family and stewardship goals. Barnabas representatives do not perform the necessary legal work to carry out these plans, but they follow up the conferences with a summary that can be brought to an attorney for translation into the appropriate legal documents. Meeting with a Barnabas representative may be of special interest to you if your circumstances have changed in recent years due to widowhood, retirement, or an "empty nest" as your children reach adulthood. You may also have concerns about what will happen to your family business or farm in case of your death.

To get in touch with a Barnabas representative, please contact Don Van Maanen via phone at: (360) 318-9525 or email. The LCS Central Office can link you with free estate planning services through the Barnabas Foundation.
