Crown Financial Ministries is the marriage of two different Christian ministries: Crown Ministries and Christian Financial Concepts. Separately they were small, and each was missing "something." However, as the Crown Web site explains:
"Almost simultaneously, God began a process of prompting both Howard Dayton and Larry Burkett with an uneasy sense that there was something more that their ministries should be doing. The same Scripture reference kept prompting both Larry and Howard to seek a better way: ?Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this??
After a radio interview, Larry felt led to ask Howard, ?Why don?t we merge our organizations together?? This led to personal talks between Howard and Larry and, later, to serious discussions with the boards of directors of both ministries. After much study, discussion, and a lot of prayer, the boards of both Crown Ministries and CFC unanimously agreed to merge into a new organization, Crown Financial Ministries, on September 7, 2000."
Crown Financial Ministries has one of the most user-friendly resources on Christian finances around. The Web site is easy to navigate, and it is frequently updated with the latest information in Christian finances and how to relate what's going on in our world to living Christian principles.
Additionally, there are easily-navigable sections on financial planning for your family, business and church. You can also sign up for courses and even find a local minister that is approved by Crown to help you with your Christian financial planning.
