Kingdom Advisors is pleased to offer the member-led Charitable Giving Community Group under the leadership of Jerry Black and Randy Fairfax. The purpose of this community group is to equip Kingdom Advisors to effectively motivate and integrate giving in their counsel and planning with clients.

“Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.”
