Financial Peace University is coming to Strawbridge this Fall

This isn't your typical "money class". Financial Peace University is practical, entertaining and fun!  More that 1.5 million families and individuals have taken FPU.  The average family completing the course pays off $5,300 and saves $2,700 in just 90 days.  That's an $8,000 change in position!  Whether you're struggling to make end's meet or you're a millionaire, FPU has something for you.

FPU is based on more that 800 verses of Scripture and is  a proven plan that will work for you.  To look at a sample click here:  Dave Ramsey
