Financial stewardship being taught by two faith-based orgs God’s way
A business and ministry are partnering to teach God’s principles about money to more Christians.
AdelFi, the leading digital Christian banking institution in the U.S., today announced its partnership with Crown Financial Ministries, a leading non-profit organization providing biblical stewardship education to Christians worldwide. The exclusive banking partnership with Crown enables AdelFi to offer customized courses on financial stewardship, budgeting, and saving to its thousands of consumers, non-profits, and business members across the U.S. Plans are to develop more than 20 customized courses, all based on what the Bible teaches Christians about money.
The online education platform is a timely addition to the AdelFi Financial Stewardship Center, which provides members free access to credit scores, financial calculators, and articles on various topics such as credit/borrowing, home purchasing, getting out of debt, teaching kids about money, and much more.
Access to education from a biblical perspective
“As a Christian financial institution, we want to provide our members access to education and resources from a biblical perspective and in a fully digital way. As many of our members are younger and more digitally savvy, we are thankful that Crown allowed us to customize their courses to match how our members prefer to learn,” said Abel Pomar, President, and CEO for AdelFi.
The 2022 research conducted by Lifeway Research and AdelFi, found that young Christian consumers, compared to their non-Christian counterparts, considered taking on more debt (47% v. 37%). Also, the study found that while 74% of young adults seek to purchase from companies that share their values, only 48% of Christians spend their money with Christian-owned companies.
Pomar added, “It’s important for us to educate the broader Christian community about the lasting Kingdom impact that money has, specifically how we spend and invest it. Christians should know how banks utilize and invest the resources God entrusts to them, and how we as a Christian financial institution are fundamentally different.”
