Kirk Johnson

Kirk Johnson leads business development at Covenant Trust Company, working to deepen relationships across the Evangelical Covenant Church community and extend CTC’s fiduciary, trust, and financial planning services to the individuals, families, and ministries it serves. He oversees CTC’s team of Financial Advisors embedded within Covenant Living communities, along with the company’s marketing and educational outreach.

Kirk brings more than 25 years of experience in financial services. He spent much of his career at New York Life, where he built and ran his own practice delivering financial education inside large organizations, and later spent more than a decade developing new advisors — with a particular focus on prospecting, client engagement, and helping people move from intention to action on their financial goals. His background also spans corporate operations, training, and ministry leadership.

That blend of financial expertise and ministry experience shapes how Kirk approaches his work: with the conviction that sound financial stewardship and faith are deeply connected, and that the right guidance helps people give, plan, and provide with confidence.

Kirk holds an MBA from North Park University along with the CLU®, ChFC®, CLF®, FLMI®, and LUTCF® designations. He and his wife, Carolyn, make their home in the Chicago area.
