Bob Korljan
Stewardship Coach
Robert “Bob” Korljan has been a financial planner and pastor for more than 25 years. As CEO and President of Eaton-Cambridge, Inc., he offers comprehensive wealth building strategies: investment, tax, and advanced stewardship planning. Bob is board certified by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants with the specialty designation Personal Financial Specialist and holds a B.S. in Accounting from Arizona State University and a Master of Divinity from Covenant Theological Seminary.
Bob understands the concerns that affluent Christians have in wanting to meet the needs of their families, spend and save money responsibly, and generously support the Kingdom of God. His recent book, Prosperity Problem: How to Maximize Your Faith, Magnify Your Finances, and Make a Difference with Your Money and Your Life, deals with these topics and more. Understanding the challenges that Christians face in managing the particular gifts given to them by the Lord, Bob desires to walk alongside families and guide them in making God-honoring Stewardship decisions.
Bob and his wife Ginger have raised seven children (nineteen grandchildren and counting). They have taught their children sound Stewardship principles so that they will raise future generations who love the Lord, put Him first, care for their families, and are blessed through the faithful deployment of God’s resources they manage for Him. Bob is passionate about sharing these same principles with future generations, so they will build their houses on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ our Lord.
In addition to his work at Eaton-Cambridge, Bob is involved in ministry at his local church. As a Teaching Elder, he enjoys preaching, teaching, and mentoring young men in the church.
