Free Financial
Literacy Course

Gain the knowledge and tools to achieve financial freedom with biblical principles. This free Financial Literacy course covers goal setting, debt elimination, cash flow management, and wise investing. Learn how to steward your resources well, build lasting prosperity, and experience the joy of generous giving. Transform your financial mindset and take control of your future with this empowering course.

Course Overview:

This course presents basic principles for achieving financial freedom. Emphases include confident expectancy, setting goals, preparing personal financial spreadsheets, escaping debt, managing cash flow, investing, and generous giving. The vision is to create an army of people who are debt free, prosperous and successful who will be willing to serve others with no limits or boundaries. We believe a free and prosperous society can be generous and can achieve many more things than a society that is in bondage by debt, poverty, consumption, and selfish desires. The purpose is to transform the mindset of society so that each individual recognizes the great wealth that God endowed each of us with at birth. We are all equal before God. We were all given the same gifts – a mind, a will, a heart, a conscience, and a body and 24 hours every day - and thus each of us has the same opportunity to generate wealth during our lifetimes and live the life of our dreams. What we choose to do with each of these gifts is up to us.
