Financial Peace University
FPU is a 13-week life-changing program that empowers and teaches you how to make the right money decisions to achieve your financial goals and experience a total money makeover.
Who is Financial Peace University for?
It’s for EVERYONE from the financially secure to the financially distressed. Over 180,000 families and individuals have attended FPU at their workplace, church, military base, local nonprofit organization or community group.
On average these families have paid off over $5,300 in debt and saved $2,700 during this 91-day program! The results of participants in the classes at First Church have been consistent with these numbers.
In FPU, find out how to:
- Make a budget that you will understand and actually use.
- Get out of debt and stay that way.
- Communicate with your spouse about finances.
- Invest with confidence.
- Change your financial future.
Class Fees
There is a $125 per household fee to cover materials. Only one kit is needed per household/couple. If you already have a kit, you can attend for no additional fee (except childcare if needed). Payment plans and/or scholarships for workshop kits may be available. Please contact Pat Harvey-Slager at 296-5156 to discuss scholarships.
Childcare
A limited number of childcare spaces are expected to be made available. If you will be utilizing church-provided childcare, there will be a $70 per family fee which is paid along with your registration fee. You must pre-register for childcare at least 2 weeks prior to the first class. Childcare is not "drop-in" but rather for those who need it for all of the sessions. Payment plans and/or scholarships for childcare may be available. Please contact Pat Harvey-Slager at 296-5156 to discuss scholarships.
