What is Financial Peace University?
FPU
is the most important step to changing your financial future. It is your Total
Money Makeover Program. It takes the knowledge from God and turns it into real
action in our lives through a step-by-step process taught by best-selling author
and financial counselor Dave Ramsey.
FPU is a 13-week life-changing program that empowers and teaches you how to
make the right money decisions to achieve your financial goals and God's plan
for your life. The course includes practical lessons on eliminating debt,
building wealth, giving like never before, and much, much more!
Who is Financial Peace University for?
It's for EVERYONE!...from the financially secure to the financially distressed.
Over 180,000 families and individuals have attended Financial Peace University.
Applying God's Word radically changes your life. On average, FPU graduates have paid off over $5,300 in debt and saved $2,700 during the 91-day program!
What Will I Learn?
In this life-changing program you will learn:
1. How often do the classes meet?
There are 13 class sessions meeting one day per week. Childcare will
be provided.
2. How long is each class session?
We suggest two hours for each session, and each is independent of the others.
Part One is taught by Dave Ramsey via video to help
you learn how to make wise financial decisions based on Scripture.
Part Two of each class session is a SMALL CIRCLE
group discussion. The design of the small discussion groups helps you apply the
principles to your daily life. The small group members will help hold each other
accountable and support one another. The discussion group will help insure we
are working on the behavior part.
3. What is the average size of the class?
The video portion of the class is UNLIMITED. However, break down into groups of
8-12 families for the small group time with a coordinator/small group
facilitator for each group.
4. What happens if I miss one class- can I make it
up?
The coordinator can work with you to make up that lesson by allowing you to take

the coordinator.
