Thanks for your interest in Financial Peace University. As a church we are excited to offer this class in hopes of providing a pathway to financial freedom. Being enslaved to debt can be debilitating. Proverbs 22:7 says that “the borrower is the slave to the lender.” The average American is over $9,000 in credit card debt alone. On top of this, 78% of the time, when the debt is paid off, it grows back. Why? Because credit is used, instead of cash. FPU gives you the tools to manage your finances wisely. Wise stewardship involves making good decisions with your time, talents and your money.
