Financial Peace University
Our next FPU class is TBD, perhaps in 2027 (held every few years). If you’re interested in FPU, please contact us (see QUESTIONS section below).
WHAT
Financial Peace University (FPU) is a 9-week class. Learn how to be smart with money and discover what the Bible says about debt (Proverbs 22:7), money, wealth, being good stewards of our (God's) resources, and more! All church members, visitors, and the community are welcome ... spread the word and bring a friend!

FPU COORDINATORS
Michael Short and Ryan Ledebuhr took FPU in 2013, and it was life-changing for each of their families. It was so transformative that they decided to give back to the program and became Volunteer Coordinators. They’ve led 13+ FPU classes since 2016.
FYI
#1: You don’t have to share personal financial info in class. 🔒
#2: You can attend FPU (and learn new things) even if you’re debt-free and/or retired! 🙂
#3: Following Biblical financial principles can be transformative. 🙃
TESTIMONIALS
"I was a ‘bit’ of a skeptic at the beginning of class. I have learned new skills that will change my future and allow me to regain financial control over my day-to-day life. If you are on the fence about taking the class, just do it. You won’t regret it."

"FPU this cycle assisted me in getting back on track with my budget, as well as being ‘gazelle intense’ to be 100% debt-free by early Q1 2025."
-FPU member, September 2024
"I started this class at the level of Baby Step 4. I am nearing retirement and this class gave me a push I needed to pay off my mortgage and build up my savings. I feel better prepared for retirement. Michael and Ryan were excellent teachers: very helpful, down to earth, and very accepting of where everyone was at."
-FPU member (age 62), September 2024
"I am very thankful that this class taught me about the difficulties that come with debt. I learned a lot about college debt and how to avoid that. It will really help me as I start college next year."
-FPU member (age 18), September 2024
"I just graduated … I have a lot of student debt and feel confident going in the ‘real world’ knowing the Baby Steps I can take to have financial peace in my future."
-FPU Member, September 2024
"Even though there were many things I already knew, there were some things that I did not know or realize. There were many eye-opening testimonies, discussions, and insights that make you rethink about the things you thought you already knew. All in all this was a great class to take whether you are just starting out or think you are a financial pro."

"FPU came at the perfect time for us. We were recently engaged and taking this class has not only helped us to be debt-free prior to marriage, but has also set a path for us to be on the same page for a lifetime of budgeting together. Thank you for offering this class — we highly recommend this class for anyone interested in taking more control of your finances."
