Predatory lending, poor credit, low financial literacy, broken relationships, and many other factors often keep people trapped in poverty. Without the right tools and a supportive community, it is almost impossible to escape the cycle. This 12-week class provides a supportive community in which people of all backgrounds can gain skills to manage their money well and honor God in the process.

We offer training in poverty alleviation principles to church members and volunteers who help out in our programs. We connect people to resources like Bible studies and small group studies that start conversations in the church about effective ways to engage in healing relationships across racial, socio-economic, and cultural lines. We consult with church leaders about developing ministries and systems in their mercy and benevolence committees that focus on developing people as stewards more than giving out handouts.
