Our History

While working as a financial advisor, Bruce Bruinsma experienced a defining moment. He was meeting with a missionary couple to review their financial plan for retirement and was shocked and saddened when he realized that they were not prepared for retirement, despite being told otherwise. God used this experience to re-direct Bruce’s heart, and the Envoy Financial journey began. 

1987

 

As he worked with pastors and Christian organizations, Bruce realized the importance of distinguishing a secular view of retirement from a Christian one. He began seeing retirement not as a reward for past service, but as a stepping-stone for future ministry. 

1990

 

The desire to begin a faith-based retirement planning service started and the company, Christian Retirement Coalition was established. 

1997

 

Christian Retirement Coalition changed its name to Envoy Financial to better reflect its mission. Envoy means “trusted messenger” and is taken from Proverbs 13:17. 

2004

 

Envoy expanded its Christian financial planning services by providing Envoy Advisory, TPA, and Record-keeping. 

2011
