A Resource for Every Season

What does this season look like for you? Maybe you’ve spent time celebrating graduations, weddings, or holidays. These milestones allow us to reflect on the people and communities that matter most to us.

Having an estate plan in place is a powerful way to protect the people you love, steward the resources God has entrusted to you, and create a legacy that extends your faith for generations to come.

The Diocese of Olympia partners with FreeWill to ensure members of our community feel supported in completing this important task for the future. FreeWill is a trusted online platform that can help you write your legal will in 20 minutes or less at zero personal cost. While you create your will, you’ll have the opportunity to plan for your assets, dictate funeral wishes, and even make a bequest to ministries and other causes you care about.

CREATE YOUR FREE WILL

If you would prefer to finalize your plans with an attorney or need to address more complex estate needs, you can still save time with your lawyer by using this resource to document your wishes first.

I hope you find this resource useful as you reflect on the people, communities, and ministries that make your life special. 

Blessings,
+Greg

Bishop Greg Rickel

The Rt. Rev. Gregory H. Rickel was elected bishop on May 12, 2007, and became the eighth Bishop of Olympia in September 2007. He embraces radical hospitality that welcomes all, no matter where they find themselves on their journey of faith. He envisions a church that is a safe and authentic community in which to explore God’s infinite goodness and grace as revealed in the life and continuing revelation of Jesus Christ.

Church of the Redeemer

Welcome to Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, and reaching out to the world. We are an Episcopal Church serving north King County and south Snohomish County, Washington. As you travel your road, go with friends walking the way of Jesus at Redeemer.

Church of the Redeemer is at 6210 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore, Washington. We are a short distance north of Bothell Way, near the Burke-Gilman Trail. The entrance looks like a gravel driveway. The campus is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. And we managed to hide a large building on the side of a hill that is not easily seen from the street.

The Episcopal Church welcomes you.
