Serving

Lynchburg, VA

Since

1983

Blue Trust has expanded into central Virginia with a new office in Lynchburg, welcoming the team and clients of HSC Wealth Advisors. 

Founded in 1983, HSC Wealth Advisors has served clients across the Lynchburg, Bedford, and Roanoke areas for more than four decades, with a fee-only, faith-based, and family-focused approach to wealth management. As part of Blue Trust, the Lynchburg advisors continue to offer that same objective, client-first counsel, now supported by an expanded range of fiduciary services that includes trust services, broader investment options, and business consulting.

The team applies technical financial expertise and biblical wisdom to help clients make wise financial decisions, experience clarity and confidence, and build a lasting legacy. Joel Bengds serves as managing director of the Lynchburg office, leading a team of advisors who bring decades of combined experience and deep roots in the central Virginia community.
