Your Life Counts (Crown)

Many individuals and families are looking for answers to financial challenges these days. Did you know that the Bible contains 2,350 verses dealing with money? Most of us have been taught what God says about handling 10% of our income - the area of giving. Although this is crucial, it's equally important to understand His perspective on managing the rest of our money - as well as everything else He entrusts to us.

What Will I Learn?

This 10-week course will help you draw closer to Christ as you become a wise manger of the time, talent, and financial resources God has given you. Graduates have confirmed that marriages are being strengthened and individuals are finding their way out of debt. They are also becoming consistent savers, generous givers, and prudent consumers. Most importantly, people are entering into a closer relationship with Jesus Christ as they learn to apply His Word. Groups meet every week and include scripture memorization and interactive discussions.

Our course is based on the book "Your Money Counts" and the curriculum comes from Crown Financial Ministries.
