Leadership Team

LORNE JACKSON   President

After 25 years in the financial services business he sold his company and left the “for profit” world in 2002 to create the Canadian National Christian Foundation (CNCF) as a federally incorporated public foundation to serve donors in Canada wanting to give more efficiently and with more flexibility. In 2017 a new charity was created called Financial Discipleship Canada (FDC) to give oversight to the various ministry initiatives that CNCF had developed over the years.

With a passion for giving and overall stewardship Lorne has written a book on the subject of Stewardship. In his book he points out that stewardship is an often misunderstood and misrepresented word. His book entitled, “After the Faith Decision… all else is stewardship” reminds readers that stewardship is not just about money or fundraising but is all of life as we live for our Lord.

He enjoys mentoring numerous business and professional men as well as donating his time to his local church. Lorne also enjoys tennis, travelling and sharing time with his wife Doris of over 50 years and their two married children and four grandchildren.

JAN KUPECZ   Executive Director

Jan Kupecz provides overall leadership to the Financial Discipleship Canada team, is responsible for the implementation of strategy, and day to day decision making. She was involved with the launch of Financial Discipleship Canada and its family of ministries including ADVISORS with Purpose and notmine.ca.



In the past, Jan was COO for a business law firm as well a national financial planning firm. She is passionate in her faith, enjoys the challenge of leadership and motivating God’s people to live lives wholly surrendered to HIM.

Jan and her husband Joe make their home near Ottawa, where they enjoy family time with their adult children and half dozen grandchildren. Both are active leaders in their local church and Jan is a volunteer financial coach helping families and individuals live according to biblical financial principles.
