Central Baptist Church will host a "Financial Peace University" course beginning Sunday, August 31. The program is the brain-child of radio host Dave Ramsey, a financial expert listened to nationally by more than 3.5 million every week.

The 13-week course which includes video classes and group discussion has changed lives all across the country. More than 500,000 families have completed the program at their workplace, church, and other locations and are working toward debt freedom and "financial peace."

To introduce the program, we held two preview nights. The response was great and we have about 50 people signed up to attend this 13-week event.

With the economy in the midst of a downturn and energy prices skyrocketing, every family is feeling financial pressure. But there are ways to eliminate mounting debt that is both efficient and biblically based. Financial Peace University is a life-changing program that teaches you how to make the right decisions with your money. You'll be empowered with the practical skills and confidence needed to achieve your financial goals and experience true financial peace. Imagine what the People of God could do for the Kingdom of God if they were debt free!

There is still time to register for "Financial Peace University" here at Central Baptist Church on Sunday evenings, beginning on August 31. Contact Tricia or Erika in the church office (office@CBCspringfield.org or 523-3639) to sign up.
