What can Christians bring to finance?  

Using their God given gifts, Christians within the finance world can move beyond just managing resources and embrace stewarding resources. On an individual level, Christians can honestly and appropriately help people move from debt to wealth. In assisting companies with their finances, Christians can approach the marketplace on mission cultivating integrity and wise stewardship.
