Stewardship Stewardship A 100% ConceptA 100% Concept

Lifetime-God owns all things, we are His stewards. It is important that we use our assets to their fullest potential during our lifetime for self, family, business, and charitable interests.

Eternal-And at death, we must have arranged for the transfer of our assets in the most efficient and effective manner to individuals or charitable interests who will continue to use them to reflect our Christian life-style.

Identity Theft Protection

Purchase a plan that provides “full restoration” benefits which takes over all the work with creditors, government agencies, collectors, police, social security, etc. Make sure the plan covers all risks of ID Theft . ..not just credit related issues.

Always order your free credit report from each credit bureau once a year.

Take advantage of free consumer services to help reduce your risk.

Enroll your entire family in a plan since children are prime targets of Identity Thieves.

Investment Philosophy

Begin with pre-tax savings [in 401(k), 403(b),TSP, Traditional IRA) and tax-free

savings (Roth IRA, Roth 401(k)].If your employer matches your contributions to your 401(k),

403(b), TSP, then invest up to the match. Next, fully fund a Roth IRA for you (and your spouse, if

married). If that still doesn't total 15% of your income, come back to the 401(k), 403(b) or TSP.
