Are you struggling with debt and never seem to have enough money to pay bills at the end of the month? Do financial woes cause stress in your marriage and relationships with others? Have you wondered what the Bible has to say about money?

Fortunately the Bible does have a lot to say about wise money management. We are blessed to have a number of people at Southern Gables that have learned to apply these biblical principles in their life and that are willing to help you learn how to do the same. Our Financial Ministries exists to help both those who are struggling with their finances and those that want to be wise in money management.

Financial Ministry leaders are prepared to come along side you if you are experiencing a financial crisis or if you need guidance in better money management. A key element in this assistance is a 13-week course based on the curriculum of Financial Peace University which will be offered periodically. Information on the next offering of this course is presented below.

For more information, please contact Don and Linda Lesovsky (303-986-7521) or Jerry and Judy Mattson (303-972-2985) or Phyllis Sittner, Adult Discipleship Secretary (303-986-1527, ext. 204, psittner@sgc.org).

This 13-week course is designed to help you learn biblical principals of money management. Topics covered include items such as cash flow planning, dumping debt, understanding insurance and many other aspects of money management.
