Legacy giving is all about Regent's role in your story and your role in Regent's story. Here, you'll meet just a few of the many people who are grateful for the difference Regent made in their lives, and plan to be part of Regent's story for generations to come.

For ﬁfty years, Regent has been a unique place where church leaders and laypeople from varied professions have studied in a lively community. It’s been a place of healing and hope that strengthens students' commitment to serve God in their generation. Over the years I have seen the ways in which God in His grace has used the whole experience of Regent to transform people’s lives. It is vital that this work of transformation continue!

Preparing an estate plan forces you to think deeply about your values and to “put your money where your mouth is.” We have a deep respect for the work of Regent in fostering Christian formation so that each student can be salt and light in their own sphere of influence. Knowing we have our wills completed gives us peace of mind. Knowing we can share in Regent’s legacy of witness to the world gives us enormous satisfaction.

Brent and Terry Fearon

On our twentieth wedding anniversary, we had the typical conversation about what has impacted our lives over the years. Children, of course, were top of the list. A close second was Regent College. Our lives and outlooks are very different because of the time we spent at Regent. Giving back to a place that has given us so much is easy.

Bev and John Bandstra

It is important to us that our estate distribution plan reflects our personal stewardship goals while adequately providing for our children and grandchildren. To do this, we have listed the organizations closest to our hearts in our wills, including Regent College.
