How to participate in the transfer

Craig Stirtz is a gift planning counselor for the LCMS Foundation, working through the Nebraska District Office. He has helped plan gifts for ministry for 30 years. Craig’s role is to walk beside members and mentor them (for free!) on the ins and outs of probate, how to minimize taxes and maximize what your loved ones are able to keep, work with attorneys, and avoid common mistakes.

Craig has no products or services for sale, makes no sales pitch, and receives no commissions or fees. To reach Craig directly for personal counsel, contact him at 402-616-0312, or craig.stirtz@lfnd.org.

Craig will be leading a gift planning workshop on Sunday, October 23, at 11:30 a.m. at The Rock. You are encouraged to attend. Please sign up by clicking HERE to register. A light lunch will be provided.
