The Stewardship Ministry has developed a 6 hour church seminar which will entreat the church family to attend the 12 week course of Financial Fitness/Freedom group studies. If you would like to have this seminar in your church, please contact Eddie Hobbs at 678.494.2680 or go to our Seminar Section to find out how you can have this in your church.

Here are some comments from others about this ministry resource:

"As a single adult I found myself relying on credit cards to supplement my income. With each new month, it became apparent that I could only pay the minimum payment and thus became deeper and deeper in debt. When I realized that I was in serious trouble, I was directed to the Financial Fitness program at FBCW. Through a hard look at myself and my financial situation, I was helped to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It was not easy and quite honestly, it was a humbling experience. But to the praise of God's glory, once I chose to view my money as God's money, things began to change. It took some painful choices, but now I am debt free."

"We must say that taking the Financial Fitness class put priorities in perspective. It hammered home the message that our finances are an integral part of who we are and what we stand for. It also provided our family with the tools to get out of debt and see the light at the end of the tunnel. Eddie Hobbs shoots straight and we like that. We think every husband and wife at FBCW should take this class together."

"When I came to Eddie Hobbs, I was in serious financial trouble. The class combined with the personal one-on-one counseling brought me to the point of peace. I learned what God tells us about managing money and about tithing. Now I feel like I am being obedient and that I am able to properly handle God's money."
