The Jacobs Well Journey Foundation Inc.

A Legacy for Future Generations

The Jacobs Well Journey Foundation Inc. provides a way for individuals and families to support the long-term mission of Jacob’s Well Church in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin through estate planning and legacy giving. While weekly giving through OneFund fuels the day-to-day life and ministry of the church, the Foundation allows people to invest in the future of Jacob’s Well in a lasting way. Gifts made through the Jacobs Well Journey Foundation Inc. help strengthen the church’s ability to pursue ministry, outreach, and new opportunities for years to come.

For many people, estate planning is an opportunity to reflect their faith and values in how their resources will continue to make an impact. By including the Jacobs Well Journey Foundation Inc. in a will, trust, or beneficiary designation, individuals and families can help ensure that the mission of helping people know and become like Jesus continues to shape lives in the Chippewa Valley for future generations.
