What is Financial Peace University? 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! This “total money make-over” program takes knowledge from God and turns it into real action through a step-by-step process taught by author and financial counselor, Dave Ramsey. (On average, FPU grads have paid off over $5,300 in debt and saved $2,700 during the 91-day program.) FPU is for everyone – from the financially secure to the financially distressed.

What would He teach you about relationships, priorities, wealth, and His coming kingdom? Matthew’s gospel brings you face-to-face with Jesus as He calls, teaches, and prepares His disciples.
