This culture is designed to take you down. Credit cards, car loans, student loans . . . they’ll keep you paying way too much money for way too long. But there’s one way out of the mess of debt, and it starts right here with you. You can change your future today by joining the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University class at Cordata Presbyterian Church. No matter where you are on your financial journey—sitting at rock bottom, just trying to do better, or just wanting to understand your personal finances—we’ve seen this class work for millions of people who:
                                                                                                 – Have a huge amount of debt
                                                                                            – Have nothing saved for retirement
                                                                                            – Can’t get on the same page with their spouse about money
                                                                                            – Are facing a financial crisis
                                                                                            – Are newly widowed or divorced
                                                                                            – Are living paycheck to paycheck
                                                                                            – Have a low to average income
                                                                                            – Can’t keep up with their bills
                                                                                            In fact, the average FPU graduate is debt-free in two years or less!

Financial Peace University is way more than just learning how to budget and get out of debt. Although both of those are highly important.

You get 1 year access to all nine video lessons, a fully editable digital workbook, a hardcopy workbook, access to EveryDollar Premium budgeting app and more.

Once a week for nine weeks, you’ll watch an online video lesson at home (each one is about an hour long). Then we will meet online via zoom for about 45 minutes to 1 hour and a FPU Coordinator will lead discussions and activities that drive each lesson home.
