Financial Coaching Ministry

Money and possessions are referenced in the Bible over 2,300 times! All of us who are becoming deeply committed Christians understand and appreciate that everything we have belongs to God, including our financial resources. However, the lack of good money management occasionally creates anxiety and distress that can negatively affect personal and family relationships.

If financial pressures are impacting you, you may benefit from the assistance of a financial coach. The mission of the Financial Coaching Ministry is to confidentially and with God’s grace assist those seeking financial counseling, restoring hope and peace to their lives.

When you return the confidential application, our Financial Coordinator will assign you a Financial Coach. Your Coach will meet with you up to four times and help you develop a personal, faith-based financial plan.

What to expect

The Church of the Resurrection’s Financial Coaching program will:

  • Provide a trained mentor to prayerfully listen to your situation
  • Foster better internal communications about money (especially among married couples)
  • Confidentially review and discuss your personal financial position regarding income, existing debt and monthly spending
  • Help you identify where your money is spent, and guide you in developing a disciplined monthly spending plan
  • "Coach" you as you develop focused short and long-term action plans to eliminate or minimize existing financial concerns and then create personal wealth

Our Financial Coaching program will not:

  • Immediately resolve all of your financial problems and concerns
  • Provide quick fix solutions to situations that may have taken several years to develop
  • Guarantee future financial success
