Good $ense Budget Course

Dealing with Debt
Information will be provided to help you handle your debt in a Christian way. Learn about church and community resources to help you climb out of debt and not repeat the cycle.

Having Legal Documents in Order
You will hear in plain English an explanation of what documents are needed to have your legal house in order and practical advice on how to be ready to talk with an attorney about having your will written. We will review the current estate law and how it affects your will.

Planning for Retirement
This half-day Saturday seminar will look at the concept of retirement from a biblical and historical perspective.  What are the key questions that one has to answer to plan for it?  This seminar is especially for those 40 and older who are wanting to plan now for retirement.  We will use an instrument to calculate what you need to save now to prepare financially.

LifeGroup Study Guides

Crown Class

Treasure Principle Study
