For many years, Al and Carol Wilson showed their commitment to Hancock in many ways. Their significant financial contributions to the church helped enable Hancock to become the church it is today. Following their lead, The Wilson Society was established in 2017 to recognize a special group of people who have included Hancock in their estate plans. Gifts of all sizes – large and small – are accepted and appreciated.
Members represent a wide range of ages, income levels and walks of life. Upon notifying Hancock that you have included the Church in your estate plan, you will be recognized as a member of the Wilson Society and will receive relevant updates and news of interest to members.
Like Al & Carol Wilson, we believe in the future of Hancock Church. We believe in the importance of estate planning and leaving a legacy. We believe in planning for the future.
Join us. Plan your legacy today.

Words from Wilson Society Members
“Hancock Church has been our church home for almost 60 years. Our children grew up in the church and ministers were helpful to us and to them in that process. Through the church we have made many close friends, who have been important to us through the years in many different ways. We moved along on our spiritual journeys in the church and in church-related organizations. We have taken part in church groups and filled church offices, always learning and growing in the process. We hope these opportunities will be are there for others in the future.”
“We have found Hancock a welcoming church, where we have made friends and been helped along our faith journey. We hope future members will have the same experience.”
“We felt good about putting Hancock in our wills when we redid them a few years ago. Hancock is the community where we feel at home more than any other, more than neighborhood, more than work. We look forward to seeing familiar faces every week, friends of many years, people with whom we have learned, worked, laughed, and cried. Families we have watched grow up. It’s where we explore the important things in life, its meaning and purpose. We are also keenly aware that we are the beneficiaries of those who were here before us and who
paid it forward, leaving to our generation a vibrant church in a beautiful building, making possible the rich church life we have enjoyed. We want to return the favor by doing that for the next generation.”
I am proud and happy to be a member of such a generous and supportive Hancock congregation and hope that my contribution will help Hancock thrive.”
