Christian Financial Advisors Help You Answer Life's Most Difficult Questions

You've spent decades working hard, providing for your family, and faithfully saving for the future. But as retirement approaches—or after you've recently retired—you may find yourself facing some of the biggest financial decisions of your life.

Questions about your 401(k), Social Security, taxes, investments, and retirement income can feel overwhelming. You may worry about making costly mistakes, outliving your savings, or whether you're making the right decisions for your spouse, children, and future generations.

Retirement often brings unexpected questions about identity, purpose, and what this next season of life should look like.

You know where you want to go. You simply want the wisdom, guidance, and confidence to help you get there.

What are some of the challenges we help Christians overcome?

Your Faith and Finances Don't Have To Be Separate:
See How We Work With Clients

Your risks can change in retirement but God is in control:

In Proverbs 16:9 it says “A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.” As Christians we understand that God is in control.

But that doesn’t mean that we don’t prepare for the unexpected. When you create a Christian Financial plan you can prepare you and your family for events such as:

POOR MARKET RETURNS

UNPLANNED EXPENSES

LOSS OF A SPOUSE

LOSS OF INDEPENDENCE

Common Mistakes Christian Investors Make:

The biggest risk is living longer than you expect because longevity magnifies all these risks. We all have a retirement age that we must prepare for. Which may include retirement calculators and social security calculators.

Did you know that over half of married couples will have a spouse live past 90?

So you will need a Christian financial plan, to increase the probability of your retirement income living as long as you do. Some common mistakes can cost you a lot of money over your lifetime:

POOR SOCIAL SECURITY & MEDICARE SELECTIONS

TAKING WITHDRAWALS FROM THE WRONG ACCOUNTS AT THE WRONG TIMES

YOUR INVESTMENTS BEING TOO AGGRESSIVE, OR TOO CONSERVATIVE

Christian Financial Planning is more than just investments

Investment management is only a small piece of true Christian financial planning. We study the research and invest the time to make your retirement income strategy comprehensive and straightforward; using illustrations and analogies to explain complex financial concepts in an understandable way.

How To Get Started

Pray

Every good plan begins with wise counsel. When you schedule a consultation, we take the time to understand your goals, values, concerns, and the people and causes that matter most to you.

Plan

Together, we develop a thoughtful strategy for retirement income, investments, taxes, and legacy planning, seeking to honor God by managing your resources wisely and avoiding unnecessary risks and costly mistakes.

Prosper

Money is a tool, not the ultimate goal. Our desire is to help you experience greater peace of mind so you can focus on what matters most—serving others, caring for your family, giving generously, and pursuing the purpose God has prepared for this season of life.

The 7 Pillars of Stewardship and a Christian Financial Plan

GOD OWNS IT ALL

When we invest, we understand that God is in control. He has blessed us with assets to help spread his vision for humanity. We are mere stewards charged with making the right decisions that is according to God’s Will

RECOGNIZING GOD'S SOVEIGNTY

God is all powerful. He can do all things if we believe in Him. He has the power to give and he has the power to taketh away. But it is through this recognition that believers invest knowing that God is in control.

TO ADVANCE HIS KINGDOM

When a Christian investor wins, Christians everywhere win. It is through your contributions that the kingdom of God expands. When you are faithful to his Word and his principles, it shows the world the glory of God.

RESPECT HIS GUIDING PRINCIPLES

After salvation, money is one of the most discussed topics in the Bible. God has outlined how we should view and manage our wealth. It is in obedience to him that we listen and put those principles into action when designing our financial plans.

SEEKING HIS WISDOM

Before making any decision you should always seek God’s Wisdom. Reading our Bibles and getting clarity around financial decisions should be at the core of our investment philosophy. We encourage all investors to pray about their financial future and allow God to show them the way.

CHOOSING HIS LOVE OVER PROFIT

We should put our trust into the Lord. The love of God should supersede all ambitions in our life. The goal of a Christian investor is to do the will of God which is something we do, and not just something that we say. They are not concerned with the returns of their neighbor, but focused on maximizing the assets that God has made them a steward over.

BECOMING A GOOD STEWARD

Being a good steward starts with seeking counsel. You don’t have to do this on your own. Christian investing is a group effort. It takes the whole Christian community to build a strong legacy. Hiring advisors that share your faith is priority number one. God wants you to be good stewards over the blessings that he has bestowed on you. Make sure that you are not taking that task lightly.
