Giving Your Money a Mission Through Every Life Stage
Kingdom Bank is one of our agency members. Find out more about their involvement with Affinity here.
We believe that how you steward your money reflects what matters most to you. That’s why our mission is to empower Christians to use their finances in ways that align with their faith. Whether you’re just starting a family, preparing for the future, or planning your retirement, Kingdom Bank offers more than financial services – we offer a partnership in Kingdom impact. Here’s how we’ve journeyed with customers at various life stages, helping them invest with purpose.
Young Families: Aligning Values and Finances
Take Xander and Melody, two doctors from York who are raising a young family while actively serving in their local church. Like many Christians, they became concerned about where their savings were being invested. Xander shared, “We became increasingly aware that banks don’t simply sit on your money. This money is often invested in things we’re not comfortable with as Christians.”
Their search for a better alternative led them to Kingdom Bank. Here, they found peace of mind knowing that their savings wouldn’t just sit idle or support ventures misaligned with their values. “It was really positive to know that we could use our savings to empower and equip churches and Kingdom ministries,” Xander said. For Xander and Melody, choosing Kingdom Bank meant their money could serve the gospel while still supporting their family’s financial security.
Next-stage Stewardship: More Than Just an Interest Rate
For Cathy, a wife and mother from London, stewardship has always been central to her approach to money. With teenage daughters and a desire to plan wisely for the future, Cathy initially followed the traditional route of saving with a high street bank. That changed when she attended a church planting weekend and learned about Kingdom Bank.
“For me, responsible saving isn’t just about the best interest rate. It’s about making choices that align with my love for Jesus,” Cathy explained. “This money isn’t really mine; it’s God’s, entrusted to me to steward wisely.” Her decision to move her savings to Kingdom Bank came from the assurance that her money would be used to support Christian causes she deeply cared about. Her story reflects the heart of our mission: helping Christians invest in what matters eternally.
Planning for Retirement: Peace of Mind and Purpose
Guy, a veterinary surgeon from the Scottish Highlands, has spent his career building a successful practice. As he began to consider retirement and his share in the business being released to him, he was faced with an important question: what should he do with this money?
When his wife came across Kingdom Bank, they both felt it was the answer they’d been looking for. “Kingdom Bank’s mission to use savings to support gospel work resonated deeply with us,” Guy said. “We were also pleasantly surprised to find that, whilst higher interest rates might be found, we would get a good return on our savings.” For Guy, choosing Kingdom Bank meant finding a way to give his savings significance, supporting ministries and churches while enjoying a reliable return. “Why wouldn’t we sacrifice a small amount of interest to help churches and ministries thrive? It seemed like a no-brainer, really!”
Whatever your life stage, saving with Kingdom Bank enables your savings to facilitate Kingdom growth across the UK. Every pound entrusted to us supports churches, ministries, and gospel outreach, transforming lives and communities.
When you bank with Kingdom Bank, you’re not just saving money. You’re investing in eternity.
Kingdom Bank exists to help churches and gospel ministries grow and thrive. In 2024, we were able to lend £26.7m in mortgages to ministries across the country. We are on track for lending £31m by the end of 2025, all of which will be to support UK Christian ministries. To meet this demand for mortgages, we need the amount saved with us to continue to grow too.
Please pray:
- That God would direct ministries in need of property to Kingdom Bank, and that we would be able to provide lending where appropriate.
- That Christians across the country would give their savings an eternal significance by opening an account with us.
