The Crown Financial Personal Finance Study is a 10-week course that contains powerful tools to help you build a financial plan, eliminate debt, save, and invest. This study will not only help you find solutions to your financial problems but will also help you explore the root cause of your financial issues. The group will help you understand God’s financial principles, create a plan for eliminating debt, develop new attitudes and habits related to money and possessions, and grow in generosity. Combining solid biblical teaching and hands-on practical experiences, you’ll begin your journey to activate your full financial potential and find freedom from financial stress.
DivorceCare
DivorceCare’s life-changing support groups offer care to those seeking to heal from the pain of separation or divorce. Over 1 million people have found comfort and hope through this 13-week series in which members walk alongside each other on the path of recovery. DivorceCare provides support and counsel to manage the emotional turmoil that often comes with the dissolution of a marriage. In this support group, you’ll find acceptance, understanding, encouragement, hope, and practical tools for decision-making.
DivorceCare will meet on Thursdays, September 10-December 10 from 7-9P in Room 340. At registration you’ll pay $20 for materials.

GriefShare will meet Wednesdays, June 3-September 2 from 7-9P in the Hospitality Suite. At registration you will pay $20 for the cost of a workbook; there are no other fees. Registrants may drop in any week as they can repeat the sessions they miss.

This 13-week group will cover topics such as helping your hurting children, eliminating debt, managing your emotions, and building a support system. Meeting together with other like-minded single parents provides a safe place for support, encouragement, sharing tips, and the opportunity to talk through challenges unique to single parents.
