Dave Ramsey classes offered in Bainbridge

Thursday, August 7, 2014

Bainbridge­ Christian Church will be offering Financial Peace University (FPU) classes beginning Thursday, Sept. 18 at 6:30 p.m.

Nearly 1.5 million families have positively changed their financial situation through participation in the FPU program, nine-week course taught by Dave Ramsey on DVD.

FPU teaches families and individuals common-sense principles like how to make a plan with their money so they are able to free themselves of debt and build lasting wealth.

Bainbridge Christian Church is located at 402 S. Washington St. in Bainbridge. Persons may visit www.bainbridgecc.org to register, or may contact Sara Deal at (765) 721-0378 for more information.

"Because of the lessons we learned in FPU, we have been able to pay off $36,000 in just 17 months," Christine Cohn, a former FPU participant, said. "Debt had caused us to stop dreaming because we couldn't look into the future without feeling stressed. Now we have a plan for our money and working together for our future."

After each lesson there is a small group discussion that provides accountability and encouragement. Topics include saving for emergencies, budgeting, relationships and getting out debt.

"FPU is a fun and easy to understand program. Whether you are deeply in debt or financially secure, FPU will help you gain a new perspective on how to handle your money," said Ramsey. "These lessons are especially essential right now as people are trying to regain control of their finances."

Each class participant will will need to purchase a kit that includes a lifetime family membership to FPU, an FPU workbook, 9 audio lessons, budgeting forms and a copy of the book Financial Peace. Kits can be purchased through the host location, online at daveramsey.com or by calling 888-227-3223.
