Asbury University continues to serve alumni and friends through its partnership with Barnabas Foundation, providing complimentary charitable giving and estate planning services rooted in Christian faith and stewardship. Since the partnership began in March 2024, more than 40 families have been referred for personalized guidance to help them make thoughtful decisions about their resources and future generosity.
In March 2024, Asbury University strategically partnered with Barnabas Foundation to better serve alumni and friends as they steward the resources God has entrusted to them. Scripture reminds us that all we possess ultimately belongs to Him. When we support the local church, invest in ministries or equip the next generation through Asbury, we participate in God’s Kingdom work.
It is a privilege to walk alongside our alumni and friends as they seek to faithfully steward the resources God has entrusted to them."
“Navigating charitable giving and estate planning can be challenging, and we want to help individuals and families make informed decisions that reflect their faith and maximize their Kingdom impact.”
As a ministry to alumni and friends, Asbury’s team, together with trusted colleagues at Barnabas Foundation, provides tax-wise charitable giving and legacy planning services from a distinctly Christian worldview, all at no cost. Through confidential, no-pressure conversations grounded in prayer, transparency and integrity, individuals receive guidance as they consider how best to care for their families, support ministries they love and leave a lasting legacy.
Regardless of the size or complexity of their circumstances, alumni and friends can receive personalized guidance to help them make thoughtful, God-honoring decisions about their resources and future generosity.
Since 1976, Barnabas Foundation has helped thousands of individuals and families give more effectively to the ministries closest to their hearts. Through its partnership with Asbury, the foundation continues this mission by helping individuals align their financial decisions with their faith and charitable goals.
Ultimately, this ministry is about more than a gift or an estate plan. It is about listening to the hearts of alumni and friends, praying with them and helping them discern how God may be leading them to make a lasting impact at Asbury University and around the world.
Together, Asbury and Barnabas Foundation seek to encourage faithful stewardship and the joy of following Jesus wherever He leads.
