The Bridge Legacy Foundation

At some point in your life you may find yourself asking these questions, "What will happen to my estate when I die? Will I leave a legacy when I’m gone? Will I be remembered?"

Sam and Agavne Brave loved their church, Fresno EFC. They wanted to leave a legacy for others to follow, but all they had to leave was the little house they owned, so they donated their house to the church. The church sold the house and with the proceeds established the Brave Bible Scholarship Fund. Because Agavne appreciated her education at Biola so much, she wanted other students to have the opportunity also. The Fund was established in 2001 and is now helping students to receive a Bible school education. This is an open fund and can be added to by anyone interested helping.

The Bridge Legacy Foundation was created to equip the congregation of The Bridge Evangelical Free Church with information, technical resources and services that will enable individuals to successfully plan and implement "legacy" type gifts. These gifts involve careful estate planning to permit the transfer of assets; such as, life insurance, securities, real estate (including personal residences), etc., to support the various ministries of the church. Regardless of the size of your estate, large or small, you can obtain help from The Bridge Legacy Foundation.

The Directors of The Bridge Legacy Foundation can assist you in determining how you can leave a legacy through proper estate planning which may benefit your family while helping the church fulfill its mission of "helping people find Jesus Christ and follow Him fully".
