Faith Based Investing

Biblically Responsible Investing (also called faith-based investing) is an investment philosophy that seeks to align your portfolio with Christian values and ethical standards. It combines disciplined financial management with principles rooted in Scripture.

Instead of simply following market trends, BRI focuses on:

Positive alignment: Investing in companies with ethical business practices, respect for human dignity, and strong stewardship principles.
Avoidance of unbiblical activities: Excluding companies whose products or practices contradict Biblical teachings, including harmful exploitation, human rights violations, and activities that undermine family or moral values.
Stewardship-driven decisions: Helping you honor God with how your financial resources are allocated.

This approach honors the biblical truth that everything we have belongs to God and we are called to manage resources with integrity and wisdom.

What is Biblically Responsible Investing?
Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) aligns investment strategies with Christian values by screening out companies whose practices conflict with Scripture while pursuing financial stewardship and long-term growth.

Does faith-based investing sacrifice returns?
Not necessarily. Many faith-based portfolios pursue competitive returns while aligning with Biblical principles through disciplined portfolio management.

How is Biblically Responsible Investing different from ESG investing?
BRI is rooted in Christian Biblical values, whereas ESG focuses on environmental, social, and governance criteria that are not necessarily faith-based.

Can I use faith-based investing in my retirement accounts?
Yes. BRI strategies can be applied to IRAs, Brokerage Accounts, and other retirement accounts, subject to plan rules and suitability.

Is Biblically Responsible Investing compliant with fiduciary standards?
Yes. When properly implemented, BRI strategies are in accordance with a fiduciary standard of care that includes suitability, diversification, and long-term financial objectives

Align your financial strategy with your faith and live confidently knowing your investments reflect what matters most.
