Welcome to Florida Christian College Planned Giving

William Behrman
Chief Financial Officer

Thank you for your interest in Florida Christian College. Our hope is to serve you and your family with helpful information. We have an increasing number of friends at FCC who now are benefiting from life income gifts, gift annuities and other plans. Thank you for taking the time to explore the benefits of gift planning.

It was through the support of many individuals and churches that the dream of a Bible College in Florida came true in 1976. Since that time, countless others have lent their financial support to continue the mission of Florida Christian College. That mission is to train men and women in biblical truth and in practical ministry. Beginning with a class of 32 full-time students, the college has now grown to an enrollment of over 300.

By contributing to FCC, you are helping students gain knowledge about the Bible, learn effective teaching skills, and become leaders in evangelizing their communities. No gift, regardless of the amount, is taken lightly! We deeply appreciate the generosity and sacrifice that goes into each gift received.

Benefits for Family and Florida Christian College

There are several types of plans. Many of these have wonderful benefits for the gift donors. Many of these families have enjoyed increased income and generous tax savings. You might start by meeting these friends. Just click on the picture and you can view each story.

Peace of Mind Gift Annuity
Many years ago, Clara Lehman bought a home. Since she was so pleased with the home, she decided to buy stock in the company that builds and sells homes like it. Over the years, the stock has increased in value many times, but the value has been volatile. More on Peace of Mind Gift Annuity >>.

Sale and Unitrust
Gene and Carol White purchased stock in a small medical service company several years ago. The company has done well. A larger company is now discussing the possibility of buying the smaller company. Gene and Carol are looking for a way to save taxes. More on Sale and Unitrust >>.

The Retirement Unitrust
Mary Friendly grew up on a farm. When her parents passed away, she inherited the farm. When Mary was growing up, the farm was out in the country. The city now has grown until the farm is now within the city limits. Several developers would like to build homes on the farmland. More on The Retirement Unitrust >>.
