Local Church Hosts Dave Ramey’s Financial Peace University

February 3, 2013

Ray’s Chapel Baptist Church in Bogia will offer classes from Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University beginning March 1.

The nine-week course includes video classes and group discussion and has changed lives all across the country. More than 1.5 million families have completed the program at their workplace, church, military base, nonprofit organization or community group and are working toward debt freedom and financial peace.

Through common-sense principles and small-group accountability, FPU gives people the tools they need to change their behavior and succeed financially. On average families who complete FPU pay off $5,300 and save $2,700 in the first 90 days; following the class nearly 94 percent of those families budget regularly, according to Ramsey.

“FPU will not only transform the way you handle money, but also your marriage and other areas of your life,” says Ramsey. “This isn’t a boring financial class. We make learning about money fun and easy to understand so people in every situation can benefit from the information.”

Ramsey knows first-hand the pain that financial stress can cause. After creating a net worth of more than a million dollars by age 26, he quickly lost it all. Since then Ramsey has helped families and individuals across the country learn how to get control of their finances and avoid debt so they don’t have to experience the same pain he did.

After purchasing a membership each participant receives a workbook, Dave Ramsey’s Complete Guide to Money, an envelope system and an audio CD library. Participants will also have access to budgeting forms and MP3’s of all the lessons.

Classes at Ray’s Chapel Baptist Church begin March 1 and will meet each Friday at 7 pm. Registration ends February 15. The even is open to the entire community. Childcare is available for a minimal fee.

    To Kimberly–no worries, Dave won’t let you use a credit card to order. Must use bank draft or debit card! He knows what he is doing!
    To Pastor Nathan – Thank you and your congregation for opening your church to all of us!

    Hey everyone this is Pastor Nathan from Ray’s Chapel. If you would like to attend Financial Peace (or if you need to!) and dont think you can afford the membership, give us a call; we may be able to help!

    Our son-in-law was in terrible debt when he and my daughter got married.
    He started following Dave Ramsey’s teachings on financial freedom and was determined to do what Dave taught. Today, they are out of debt, except for their home.
    He is determined not to go into debt for ANYTHING. I am soooo proud of him, and so thankful for these teachings.

    I’d love to do it, but it’s $89 to purchase the membership :(
    maybe Dave wouldn’t mind if I charged just one more thing on mastercard? ;-) lol
    Seriously though, I would love to go through this program, but I’m not going to charge anything. *sigh*
    Best of luck to everyone that does take this course!
