Immanuel Batavia offers Financial Peace University starting Oct. 1
Financial Peace University, the 13-week program taught by Dave Ramsey, has helped churches across the country from almost every denomination bring the hope of financial peace to their congregation and community. This life-changing program teaches families and individuals how to handle their money through biblical, common sense principles and small group accountability. It is also available for companies, military bases, financial literacy programs, Spanish organizations, and community groups.
As they work on a total money makeover, the average family pays off $5,300 in debt and saves $2,700 in the first 91 days after beginning the course and is completely out of debt, except for the mortgage, in 18 to 24 months.
"We've actually relieved ourselves of over $50,000 worth of debt in two years just from using these principles," said Russ Lee, former participant.
The weekly class will be held at 7 p.m. Sundays, starting Oct. 1 to Nov. 26, in Immanuel Lutheran Church's fellowship hall, 950 Hart Road in Batavia. Registration is now open. Cost is $100 per person/family for materials. Child care is available.

The community is invited to participate in this exceptional opportunity to learn how to take back control of their finances.
FPU's effects reach farther than the pocketbook. "Church is often viewed as impractical. FPU is something we offer to our community to deal with real issues causing family frustrations," says Rubel Shelly, minister of Woodmont Hills Family of God in Nashville, Tenn.
As people walk through FPU together, marriages are healed as couples get on the same page about money, parents learn how to teach their children about money, singles are kept accountable to responsible money management, and relationships within the church grow. Dr. Adrian Adams, senior pastor at Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, Tenn. says, "Dave Ramsey has blessed so many people to help them understand God's plan for their personal finances."
Dave Ramsey began teaching FPU classes in 1994 every night around Nashville, Tenn. In 1997, FPU was made available on video across the country, with thousands of classes being held around the nation today.
The program is made up of 13 life-changing lessons taught by Dave in a fun and entertaining way. "I like to put the cookies on the shelf where everyone can reach them," says Ramsey. After each lesson the group meets to help each other plan budgets, discuss successes and temptations, and support each other in their journey to beat debt and build wealth.
"FPU classes are changing lives across the country every day," says Louis Falzetti, executive vice president of Financial Peace University. "There is something for everyone in this program whether you are barely making ends meet, just trying to plan for retirement, or seeking to build wealth. No matter what your financial situation, you will find FPU to be the best motivational tool available across the nation to help you attain financial peace."
About Dave Ramsey
Dave Ramsey is a personal money management expert, an extremely popular national radio personality and best-selling author of "The Total Money Makeover." In his latest book, a follow-up of his enormously successful New York Times best-sellers "Financial Peace and More Than Enough," Ramsey exemplifies his life's work of teaching others how to be financially responsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age, and give generously to others.
Ramsey knows first-hand what financial peace means in his own life living a true riches to rags to riches story. By age 26, he had established a four-million-dollar real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age thirty. He has since rebuilt his financial life and now devotes himself full-time to helping ordinary people understand the forces behind their financial distress and how to set things right financially, emotionally, and spiritually.
