Money Coaches
Campus: Internet Campus, Lake Norman, Mountain Island Lake, North Charlotte
In the current financial landscape, more and more people are finding themselves needing to know and apply God's financial principles. Coaches voluntarily serve others by assisting married couples and individuals in applying Biblical financial principles to their lives. Coaching participants receive personal instruction in applying the principles to their situation.
The goals of Money Coaching are:
1. To assist participants in constructing and living on a budget.
2. To assist participants in applying biblical principles of stewardship.
3. To communicate the vision of financial freedom.
4. To assist coaching participants with a practical plan for becoming debt free.
5. To provide practical and Godly financial counsel to families and individuals.
Money Map Coaching is not…
1. Investment coaching or retirement planning.
2. Marriage or family coaching.
3. Legal counsel or estate planning.
4. Intervention with creditors.
5. Benevolence.
The Money Map Coaching program is run by Crown Financial Ministries. Coaches go through a 12 week self-study course offered by Crown. Crown also has a ten-week Financial Biblical Study which we offer regularly through the Meck Institute. Going through the Crown study is generally the first step to becoming a part of the Financial ministry team at Meck. It's not strictly required to be a coach, but we recommend it as this is the best way to gain a feeling for what we teach and to solidify your own knowledge as well.

*Serve as a guide, role model, teacher and encourager
*Offer accountability
*Provide resources
Overall the Financial Mentees role is to:
