There are a number of good Christian financial programs, including Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, Crown’s Biblical Financial Study, Willow Creek’s Good $ense Financial Study and Howard Dayton’s Compass program. Each of these teaches sound Christian financial principles which are valuable for Christian households to learn. The Financial Stewardship Mentoring Program has found through experience that many of the households taking financial courses require more personal assistance in order to gain control over their finances. It often takes considerable effort by knowledgeable Mentors and it always takes the grace of God to turn a household around. To that end, the FSMP is based upon the following practices and principles:

• Taking to heart what God’s Word says about finances, property and debt
• Working individually with each household’s specific financial issues
• Providing a workable household financial system that includes periodic reviews and accountability checks, and teaching each household how to use it
• Following an approach that non-financial people can grasp and use, concentrating on weekly cash flow rather than comparison of monthly income and expenses
• Implementing a systematic method for prioritizing expenditures
• Walking with each household until they grasp the process of accomplishing a weekly plan for managing their finances
• Developing accountability and discipline for doing so
• Engaging in prayer and scripture reading on a daily basis
• Developing teachable spirits, and
• Understanding repentance as a means of grower closer to Christ

The Financial Stewardship Mentoring Program is an all-volunteer ministry that comes alongside households to provide Christian principles and practices that enable them to be released from financial slavery. We also have considerable experience disciplining others to establish this program within a church.

We welcome other churches to work with us to implement this program at the individual church level, led by your lay ministry leaders, to free those in bondage within your own congregations. We can supply knowledge and training, as well as promotional and training materials, to allow you to place households in control of their finances, using simple Christian financial principles. If you are interested in bringing a proven, effective, biblical stewardship program to your church, submit the contact form below and we will help you get started.
