Our Vision

Blue Trust provides wealth management strategies and trust services based on biblical principles to help clients make wise financial decisions, live generously, and leave a lasting legacy. It is our desire for our team members to experience the unity and transparency that is created through this application of biblical wisdom.

Our Values

We have determined distinct core values by which we guide and build our organization. It is through these ideals that we weigh decisions, measure outcomes, and determine behavior.

  • Biblical Wisdom

    We strive to bring accurate interpretation and practical application of God’s word, aligned with our knowledge and experience, to the lives of those with whom we interact.

  • Excellence

    We pursue continuous improvement in everything we do, always pressing to reach a higher standard.

  • Life Balance

    We endeavor to live our lives so that appropriate attention is given to life areas of family, work, and spiritual development.

  • Integrity

    We will do the right thing even when it is difficult or when no one else is looking.

  • Faithful Stewardship

    With faithful prudence we will manage and advise the human, financial, reputational, and relational resources with which our organization is entrusted.

  • Respectful Relationships

    We will show consideration in our relationships by interacting with others in a manner that is biblically consistent.

Blue Trust seeks to empower our clients, assisting them to live enriched lives and achieve clarity and confidence around their finances. The same applies to our people. We believe in supporting and encouraging the health and welfare of our team members and their families and recognize the importance of balancing work demands with personal life needs. We want to invest in and enhance the quality of life for our team members and offer a competitive compensation and benefit package including traditional and nontraditional benefits.

Our company, offices, teams, and individual team members are involved in their local communities and spheres of influence. We view serving the needs of others as our significant opportunity and privilege.

Our Company

Our company has created a “Share It Forward” fund where team members can make financial contributions with company-matching funds to be used to support team members experiencing hardships, such as serious medical or health conditions, or an unexpected financial loss such as a house fire, flood, etc.

Our Office Teams

Our office teams create and participate in projects in and around their communities to support causes they are passionate about. These activities may include food, clothing, and toy drives or a day of service committed to assisting an organization that serves others such as serving food at a shelter, organizing the local clothes closet, and many others.

Our Team Members

Our team members serve others in their communities and all over the world through the stewardship of their time, treasure, and talents to the benefit of the impoverished, lost, and needy. In addition, a measurement of success for our individual team members is their level of involvement in their communities, further supporting the continued implementation of our core values.

At Blue Trust we view the opportunity to serve our clients as a singular honor, helping them steward their resources to free them up to focus on building their legacy in this life and the next. To accomplish these unique goals requires unique people. Blue Trust is in search of professionals to join our team who seek to use their career in support of a mission and vision larger than themselves.
