Leaving a Lasting Legacy: ACRE Bequest Program

Investing in the Spiritual and Educational Growth of Queensland’s Future Generations

At the Alliance of Christian Religious Education Ltd (ACRE), we believe that providing young people with the opportunity to explore the Christian faith is one of the most meaningful legacies you can leave.

Through Religious Instruction (RI) in Queensland state schools, children whose parents have consented them into the program are given a safe environment to discover who Jesus is, question and explore the Christian faith, and become familiar with the stories of the Old and New Testaments.

By including a gift to ACRE in your Will, you ensure that Christian RI continues to flourish, equipping children with foundational Christian teachings for years to come.

How Your Bequest Makes an Impact

Bequests made to ACRE directly support the growth, quality, and reach of Religious Instruction in Queensland state schools by funding:

  • Expanding Access: Establishing RI in more QLD state schools and opening additional classes for consented students.
  • Recruitment & Training: Recruiting, training, and supporting high-quality RI instructors.
  • Paid RI Programs: Expanding paid Christian RI Coordinator and Instructor roles to ensure consistency and sustainability.
  • Curriculum Development: Reviewing Christian RI curricula allowing for engaging and age-appropriate Bible lessons.
  • Parental Awareness: Promoting the values and benefits of Christian RI to parents of school-aged children.
  • Bipartisan Advocacy: Engaging in ongoing, bipartisan advocacy with Queensland political leaders to protect and support Christian RI in state schools.

Ways to Include ACRE in Your Will

We recommend consulting a qualified Solicitor or Trustee to ensure your wishes are legally recorded. Once you have provided for your loved ones, a bequest to ACRE can take several forms:

  • A specific sum of money (a fixed dollar amount)

  • Life insurance policies, trusts, or annuities
