About the CKA® Designation

As Certified Kingdom Advisors® (CKA®s), Doug, Zak, Derek, Matt, Brien, and Holly have completed the coursework and examination, commit themselves to incorporate biblical principles into their financial advice, and provide evidence of an approved professional designation or have at least 10 years full-time experience in their discipline.

In addition, CKA®s agree to espouse and practice the Kingdom Advisors Code of Ethics by maintaining active local church involvement and by providing pastoral and client letters of reference. They agree to submit themselves to annual accountability by another Certified Kingdom Advisor® and pledge that they practice biblical stewardship in their personal and professional lives and by regularly giving in proportion to their income.

  1. Spending less than you earn
  2. Avoiding the use of debt
  3. Setting long-term goals
  4. Planning for financial margin
  5. Giving generously
  6. Paying taxes with gratitude

Asking the Right Questions

From choosing your financial advisor to picking your attorney, CPA, and insurance professional, assembling your team of advisors can feel overwhelming. You know it’s important to ask the right questions, but where do you even start? What questions should you ask? What qualifications and attributes should you look for?

Here are a few of the questions that Kingdom Advisors recommends you ask when interviewing financial and investment advisors:

  • Do you do comprehensive financial planning?
  • Do you work for an insurance company, investment company, or a broker-dealer that manufactures insurance or investment products?
  • Are you compensated by fees, commissions, or both?
  • What is your process and how many times will we meet?
  • How many clients do you have?
  • Do you think that it is good to pay off my house by retirement?
  • What professional certifications do you hold?
  • What is your investment philosophy?
  • Once you have invested client assets, how do you monitor investment performance?
  • How do you integrate a biblical worldview into your investment philosophy?
  • What types of investments do you use? Load or no-load mutual funds, ETFs, Stocks, Bonds, and Annuities?
  • How and how often do you communicate with your clients?
