Many people are still struggling financially from the 2008-2010 recession. Many people that lost jobs were not able to find a job right away and lived through their savings. Some cashed in retirement programs. Some people found jobs but at much lesser pay and now need to live on less income. Others may not have found a job yet. There is hope. Becoming a good financial steward means learning to live on what you have, generously giving back to the community with a happy heart, perhaps scaling down one’s lifestyle, or possibly career transitioning.

Getting started isn’t easy and many people turn to their church for help and guidance.  We can help in these situations with a 5 or 10-week Financial Stewardship Program.

What is our Financial Stewardship Program?

More comprehensive than our Christian Money Perspective small groups, our Financial Stewardship Program is a series of seminars and workshops that can help your members become debt-free, provide resources and tools to change lifestyles, and become the individual that God made them to be!

The Financial Stewardship Program is an event that can be brought right to your congregation or organization – either live or via webinar. We have a 5-week “Base Program” that focuses on personal financial budgeting and a 5-week “Beyond the Basics” which includes additional topics on changing one’s lifestyle. The Base Program will cover all the basics to become a good financial steward of one’s own money.

Financial Stewardship Base Program includes:

• 5 Key financial stewardship proverbs
• Understanding 5 Key financial wellness indices
• The power of compound interest and the negative impact of debt
• 5-Step budgeting process (G.R.A.S.P.)
• Goal Setting
• How to fill out all those forms!
• Learn the discipline to stay on track
• Teaching your kids financial stewardship
• Much More!

In cases where additional lifestyle change is desired, we offer an additional 5-week Financial Stewardship program called “Beyond the Basics.”

Financial Stewardship “Beyond the Basics” Program

In this optional offering, we bring in local experts on a variety of financial stewardship topics such as:

• Personal CFO services
• Guidance for the unemployed and underemployed
• Tips for becoming an entrepreneur
• ABC’s of Investing and Retirement Planning
• Tips for buying and selling a home in today’s market

Financial Stewardship and “Get a G.R.A.S.P…” Budgeting

How We’re Different:

Learn more about our Personal Finance Book, “Get a GRASP on Your Budget and Your Cash,” an easy-to-use cookbook-style workbook with corresponding MS Excel Budgeting Worksheets. Our “Get a GRASP” workbook and tools are effective by focusing on giving, setting goals, living within one’s means, paying off debt quickly, and funding long term goals.

Here’s just one SAMPLE output report from our budgeting worksheets program.  You won’t find any budgeting program that’s as comprehensive in this price range or even far beyond this price range!

We are also differentiated by our implementation of Virtual Envelopes vs the old cash envelope system.  We also use better MS Excel techniques to create some unique functions such as our “Paycheck Allocator,”  ”Saving Allocator” functions in our MS Excel budgeting worksheets.  See our budgeting worksheets and view sample worksheet pages.
