Financial Stewardship Seminars

The Financial Stewardship Ministry offers seminars, small groups and workshops on a variety of topics. This ministry is a partnership between Stewardship, Counseling, Diaconate and Center for Faith and Work.

In the Budgeting from a Biblical Perspective classes you will learn how to apply the gospel to your finances, develop a personal Spending Plan, use different record-keeping systems, and most importantly, you will discover how being financially faithful can help you become financially free. This is offered in a one day format or 4 weekday nights.

The Debt Reduction Workshop (2.5 hours on a weeknight) is about how one can get out of debt and stay out of debt forever. During the workshop, you are invited to begin developing your Debt Reduction Plan as well as take a look at what the Bible says about debt and about money management in general.

Seminars on special financial topics are also offered periodically throughout the year (such as investing, portfolio management, income tax assistance).
