History
Kingdom Advisors' roots were planted in 1997 when Larry Burkett, co-founder of Crown Financial Ministries, brought together 16 friends and fellow professionals with a commitment to biblically wise financial advice to form the Christian Financial Planning Institute (CFPI). In 2003, these men and women set out to advance their vision by creating a new organization that would take the lead in reaching out to the Christian financial professional community. Originally known as the Christian Financial Professionals Network (CFPN) under the leadership of Ron Blue, the organization began to grow and thrive, and in 2007 it was re-named Kingdom Advisors.
Today, under the leadership of Tony Stinson, CEO, and Rob West, President, Kingdom Advisors is a growing community serving the public by promoting the integration of a biblical worldview into financial practices. We offer training, community, advocacy, and distinction to financial professionals who want to go deeper with their clients - and their career. Through our Certified Kingdom Advisor® designation, we certify and principled class of biblically-wise financial advisors to a marketplace that is longing for contentment and purpose in their financial dealings.
Our ongoing desire is to serve the public by our helping our members offer biblically wise financial advice that is rooted in the firm foundation of God's word and by providing valuable fellowship for like-minded, faithful advisors. Our training is designed to equip members with timeless resources and practical tools so that Kingdom Advisors proves to be a trustworthy partner for advisors and a trusted standard within the financial services industry. As we accomplish these goals, we expect transformational results among our members and within the industry, yielding powerful change all the way from Main Street to Wall Street.
