Pastor Shannon Holmes of Resurrection Baptist Church asked his congregation, “What could the PEOPLE OF GOD do for the KINGDOM OF GOD if they were DEBT FREE?" As the church thought through the answer to that question, they decided to sponsor a semester of Financial Peace University. FPU is a biblically based accountability class that teaches peopleu how to manage their resources in a godly manner. The average family that takes this course reduces their debt by $5300 and saves $2700 in 91 days, resulting in an increased ability to give!”

Through FPU, videos that feature Dave Ramsey teaches the students about saving money, living on a budget, eliminating debt, retirement, investments, credit reports and even how to experience the JOY of giving!

Resurrection Baptist Church began the FPU course in February and will finish in May. Five couples are going through the 13 week lesson and have already seen a dramatic change in the way they think about money. They are learning how to “live like no one else so later they can live like no one else.”
