It’s estimated that Christians manage over 150 trillion dollars, more than half the world’s wealth. That’s 200 to 300 times greater than what is given philanthropically each year. Capital has influence, yet many of us are content to let others determine our investment strategy. Even worse, we unwittingly fund companies that advance causes we hate like gambling and pornography. We’re missing an enormous opportunity.
The Bible calls us to be on mission with ALL of our lives. For many believers, faith guides where they give, how they parent, and how they lead others in the marketplace. But when it comes to investing our finances, we tend to follow the same patterns as the world.
We aren’t owners, we are stewards of the resources that God has given us. This knowledge should radically change the how, where, and why behind our investment strategies. Imagine the impact that would occur when all Christ-following investors—from the rich young ruler to the widow and her mite—use investment capital to deliver community impact, spiritual integration, and financial return. We can take what God has given and put it back into the work He is doing on earth by promoting products and services that further human flourishing. It’s already happening.
We plan to bring a collection of fast paced TED-style talks, interactive discussion groups on emerging topics, and a sort of ESPN Sportscenter style highlight of things happening in the movement. Our prayer is we walk away realizing that we're not alone, that a movement is growing. And now more than ever, Faith Driven Investors and Entrepreneurs are needed as all countries look to rebuild.

for LEADERS IN Real Estate, Private Equity, Financial ProfessionalS, Family Office, ANGEL and Institutional Capital
This is a movement of fund managers, financial advisors, real estate developers, pastors, entrepreneurs, and every day investors. Last year, what started as a small conference of friends, grew into a one day event of leaders across the faith driven investing movement in Utah during the middle of summer.
Since then we’ve launched a website, podcast, working groups and monthly newsletter to continue the conversation with early adopters. At the early stages of any movement there’s something catalytic about conference together.
While there’s some smaller conference for specific groups (public equity, real estate, private equity) there’s a need to bring theological grounding to the broader conversation and a one stop place for investors to learn about all expressions at the same time.

We highly encourage you to join the Faith Driven Entrepreneur conference that will immediately follow. See the details below.
SEPT 24TH IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE FAITH DRIVEN INVESTOR conference
Our mission is to encourage and equip Faith Driven Investors to see how God cares about how we steward His investments. We realize that so much of that is wrapped up in the heart posture of why and how we invest. We also realize the importance of finding things to invest in that can provide financial return as well as spiritual integration.
One of the great opportunities to that is to encourage and connect with like minded Faith Driven Entrepreneurs. Following the Faith Driven Investor conference we will be having an overlapping event for Faith Driven Entrepreneurs and you’re welcome to join us for that event as well. You can add that on in your registration or learn more on the Faith Driven Entrepreneur website.
Event SPONSORS
The Faith Driven Investing movement is largely a volunteer movement of God’s humble heroes coming together to advance the conversation. This ministry initiative is subsidized by the generosity of a few individuals and foundations that make this possible. We’re grateful for several organizations who have also jumped in with us to help support this event.
