"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up"
Ecclesiastes 4: 9-10
As Certified Kingdom Advisors®, Katherine and Gregory integrate their Christian faith into their professional practice, enriching the financial guidance they offer. This distinctive approach empowers clients to align their financial decisions with biblical values, ensuring their financial journey reflects both wisdom and faith.
Navigating the financial industry while staying true to Christian beliefs and values can sometimes be challenging. That’s why becoming a Certified Kingdom Advisor® matters so deeply to Katherine and Greg. As part of this principled group of Christian financial professionals, they have been specifically trained to provide biblically wise financial advice for clients seeking to fully integrate their faith into every aspect of their financial lives.
Kingdom Advisors’ vision is to equip financial professionals with biblical financial wisdom and to build a trusted network of recognized, credible Christian advisors. At Avonlea Financial Group, Katherine and Greg proudly pursue this faith-and-work integration at the highest credentialed level in the financial planning world—so they can help you achieve a financial future that honors both your goals and your faith.
Katherine is no stranger to diving in and making waves—both in her professional and personal life. As a dedicated financial advisor, she excels at assessing client needs and guiding individuals and families toward achieving their financial goals.
Outside the office, Katherine’s competitive spirit shines through as a member of Swamp Water Aquatics of Gainesville. Her commitment to staying active and connected to her community has also inspired her to take meaningful action where she sees a need.
Each year, Katherine hosts “Making Waves for Awareness,” a swim-a-thon dedicated to raising awareness for autoimmune encephalitis (AE) and generating support for organizations like the Autoimmune Encephalitis Alliance. Her passion for this cause is deeply personal: after witnessing a family member endure a misdiagnosis due to lack of awareness about AE, Katherine became a devoted advocate.
Through her fundraising efforts and community outreach, Katherine has pledged to ensure that more people understand autoimmune encephalitis and its profound impact on individuals and families. Whether she’s in the pool or in the office, Katherine is committed to making a difference—one wave at a time.
Scout CommunityGreg’s passion for service shines through his many collaborations with local Troops of Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts of America). As a dedicated mentor, Greg introduces youth to essential life skills—including personal finance, time management, and career exploration—by guiding them through the Personal Management merit badge.
Greg also shares his musical talents as a Bugling Merit Badge Counselor, assembling Scout Buglers each month at Marietta National Cemetery. Through bugling, he inspires young scouts and channels his love of music into a powerful purpose: honoring active military members and veterans with stirring musical tributes.
Beyond his work with individual scouts, Greg loves bringing clients and scouts together to make a meaningful impact in the community. His efforts support cause organizations such as the Atlanta Area Council of Scouting America and Taps For Veterans, strengthening ties between financial stewardship and community impact.
At Avonlea Financial Group, Greg embodies the belief that true financial stewardship extends beyond numbers—it’s about building community, nurturing future leaders, and serving with heart.
