My name is Cathy Dalton. I’m a wife and a mother to two teenage daughters. Like any parent, I think about our family’s future and the importance of our financial security. But more than that, I want to ensure that our money is being used in a way that reflects our Christian values.

From passive saving to purposeful stewardship

For a long time, I kept our savings in a high street bank, where it simply sat and earned a small return. It was the traditional approach. Low risk, steady growth. But as my perspective changed, I began to wonder: could my savings do more than just accumulate interest? Could they actively support the work of the gospel?

It was at one of our annual church planting weekends that I first heard about Kingdom Bank. They were sponsoring the event, sharing how money saved with them helps churches grow, funds new church buildings and provides housing for ministry workers. That idea really resonated with me. As I reflected on it, I thought, “It’s really exciting to see that money that would otherwise just be sat in a mainstream bank not doing a great deal can be put to work for the Kingdom.”

For me, responsible saving isn’t just about the best interest rate. It’s about making choices that align with my love for Jesus. This money isn’t really mine; it’s God’s, entrusted to me to steward wisely. And when I saw how Kingdom Bank was using savings to support Christian ministry, I knew I wanted to be part of that.

My savings now serve a greater purpose

I used to always look for the safest option for my money while chasing the best return. But I realised that when you have enough to live on, you also have the opportunity to support causes that matter. Instead of just watching my savings grow, I wanted them to actively contribute to something greater. Visiting Kingdom Bank’s website and reading the stories of individuals and churches they had supported only confirmed my decision.

I remember telling my husband, “What they’re doing needs to be more widely told and heard.” I wanted more people to know that there is an alternative to traditional banking – one that allows your money to support Christian ministry. I now confidently recommend Kingdom Bank to others who, like me, want their savings to make a difference.

Letting my money reflect my faith

As I often tell friends, “It’s a joy to feel like your money is being useful in supporting Christian ministry.” For me, saving with Kingdom Bank isn’t just about financial security – it’s about living out my faith through my financial choices. Proverbs 3:9 says, “Honour the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your produce.” That’s exactly what I’m aiming to do, and I’m grateful that my savings can now serve a greater purpose.
