Why financial peace university?
The goal of Financial Peace University is not just information—it is transformation. More than one million families have attended FPU with amazing results. On average, they pay off $5,300 in debt and save $2,700 in just 90 days.
We are offering Financial Peace at All Nations, taught by Dave Ramsey via video. The class dates and times are located on the online church calendar. Classes are in the main sanctuary Wednesday evenings at 7PM from January 27 until May 5, 2010. Cost of the classes is $100 per family/ individual, which is our cost for the class packet. The packet includes a book, workbook, CD's and other resources.
If you want to get more information before you sign up, come to the orientation on January 13 at 7 PM in the main sanctuary. It's a great opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the class.
Class members meet with their class each week to watch a video lesson and participate in discussion groups. Dave's style is simple and easy to understand. He will change the way you think about money. You'll actually have fun as you learn! Watch a preview and take a look at the 13 lessons.
ANC testimonies:
We started out the program, a little over a year ago, with $23,100 in debt and are negotiating our last debt as we speak. By the end of 2009, we will be completely debt free!!! The enemy will have no access to our money or resources ever again. We are no longer in bondage. Now we get to move on to the fun part of this program, wealth building. We are looking forward to going through the classes again with a new emphasis. All praise and glory to our Provider, Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. - Dan Lavigne
In our case, the course stopped our descent into further debt. We destroyed our credit cards and got more organized about the bills we pay each month. Furthermore, we were able to create an emergency cushion for those unexpected expenses that inevitably pop up from time to time. We have also learned to negotiate. When a hospital sent us a bill for some major radiology work, I told I could not pay it all at once and asked how much of a discount they would give for an immediate payment. The man on the phone checked with his supervisor and promptly reported that the hospital would settle for 50%. We still have a lot to learn about budgeting, but the course got us started on the right direction. The course was a tremendous gift to our family. - Peter Floyd
Financial Peace has helped me to define my life goals. Putting the budget down on paper has really made me think of where I spend my money, I have changed many habits that were money wasters. I had reached Baby Step 1; however, life had got in the way and I am back at the beginning again. I have stopped smoking (9/1) and am finishing my MBA paying cash (only 2 classes left, I had previously taken money from an IRA and had considered stopping), and had three yard sales which I never would have done in the past. I have also started giving more to the community. Thank you for offering the class, I enjoyed spending time with you all this summer. - Becky Garmany
Taking the Dave Ramsey course really helped Michael and I to solidify our financial goals and priorities, and has helped us to make a plan that will continue to allow me to stay home with our growing family. There is no better peace in a marriage than to not argue about money ~ where it’s going, where it’s coming from. We are now in unison about our spending, giving, and saving. Although we have not completed most of our baby steps, we are close to being debt free and moving towards financial freedom! - Mary Neukam
The Dave R. system has changed my life. In the past, I was able to manage my money, but there was never enough left over to both tithe and save. I am doing both now. I always had money auto-deducted into a 401K, but I never had a true emergency fund. Using Dave’s system, I have learned to create a budget that works, I am saving towards both and emergency fund and for three to six months of living expenses. I am also saving for short term expenses such as car maintenance, travel, annual property taxes and anything else that is not in my monthly budget. By doing this, I do not require a credit card to ‘get me by’ for the big expenses. Dave has taught me to plan ahead. Because I do not need a credit card, I will always operate in the positive, never having to pay interest. - John Thomas
