Believers Stewardship Services is excited to inform you we are now doing business under the name of Legacy Ministry Services, and you have been re-directed to our new website! Legacy will continue to provide the same services we have always provided under this new branding.

We have taken the necessary steps to ensure that this new name does not have any effect on you. If you have any funds, trusts, annuities, or other accounts with us, those have been considered and will not be affected. If you have an estate plan naming Believers Stewardship Services in any sort of capacity, that is still a valid identity and will not require you to change anything.
