Welcome to Bryan College Planned Giving

Thank you for your interest in Bryan College.

The essence of planned giving and charitable estate planning is the creation of an estate plan that expresses your personal values through the integration of philanthropic, family, and financial goals.

Paul J. Meyer, a noted motivational speaker and philanthropist, once said, "Everyone leaves a legacy, whether it is intentional or not. Those who are more intentional about it usually leave a better legacy behind." One of the greatest gifts we can give to tomorrow's leaders is a consistent example of personal integrity built upon the foundation of a Christ-centered Biblical WorldView.

Bryan College is located in Dayton, Tennessee just 38 miles north of Chattanooga over looking Lake Chickamauga.

Peace of Mind Gift Annuity
Many years ago, Clara Lehman bought a home. Since she was so pleased with the home, she decided to buy stock in the company that builds and sells homes like it. Over the years, the stock has increased in value many times, but the value has been volatile. More on Peace of Mind Gift Annuity >>.
