How would you feel if you had NO DEBT and a solid plan for what to do with your money each month? Would you make different choices? Have different priorities? We have seen it time and time again. Poor financial decisions steal peace of mind and destroy relationships. Proverbs 22:7 teaches us that “The borrower is servant to the lender.” Many people find themselves slaves to debt, struggling to make ends meet each month. Luke 8:14 describes this condition as being “choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life.”
Overview
Financial Peace University is a 13-lesson life-changing program that empowers and teaches you how to make the right money decisions to achieve your financial goals and experience a Total Money Makeover. FPU is for EVERYONE from the financially secure to the financially distressed. Our previous 3 classes here at Fellowship have a combined debt pay off of $600,000 and have increased savings of $260,000. Our most recent class at the south campus in 91 days the average household paid off $8,781 in debt and saved $3,441. Student’s lives were transformed and given hope to find the peace and freedom that come from financial responsibility, and an everlasting peace through a relationship with the “Prince of Peace,” Christ Jesus. How would you like this to happen to your family?
Detailed information
Personal finance is 20% head knowledge and 80% behavior. With that in mind FPU works on behavior change through a state-of-the-art video presentation and a small group experience that emphasized application, accountability, and implementation for the life-changing concepts discussed in the material. In FPU you and your small group will laugh and cry together as we hold you accountable for actually putting the program’s principals into effect for your life.
FPU is not only for those who are struggling financially but also for those who want to make sure they are on the right path for the future. The program is for couples and single adults of all ages who desire to experience God’s pleasure in the area of financial freedom.
Our culture is experiencing an increasing disconnect from a biblical, balanced and integrity-centered approach to finances. As a result, families, Christian and Non-Christian alike, are facing constricting bondage due to debt and lack of preparation for the future.
