What worries you most about your finances? Have you ever been in financial trouble? Does money have anything to do with spiritual matters?

This online course will help you answer these questions and more as you're introduced to biblical principles on material wealth like:

• understanding the "heart issue" of money
• examining misconceptions about ownership and responsibility
• developing a financial plan
• trusting God as provider
• gaining freedom from debt

Based on a message series by Senior Pastor Jim White, this online course is a good first step toward financial freedom!

*You can access this class via DVD by visiting any of our Charlotte-area campuses and picking up a free DVD during the month of January.

 Come join us at Streetside Classic Car Showroom as we explore The Quest for Authentic Manhood.    

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.

James, Jesus' own brother, started out as a skeptic. See how one glimpse of the resurrected Savior turned an unbeliever into a disciple. Bible scholars compare James to the prophet Amos.

James: Mercy Triumphs  by Beth Moore provides a personal study experience five days a week plus viewer guides for the 8 video sessions of this in-depth women's Bible study.

In other ways, James more closely resembles the Book of Proverbs than any other New Testament book. Topics in this study include: joy, hardship, faith, reversal of fortunes for rich and poor, wisdom, gifts from above, single-mindedness, the dangers of the tongue, humility, and prayer.

 Many women hide the secret of abortion deep in their hearts, and they are suffering severe consequences. They carry a great burden of shame and failure afraid to reveal their hidden pain, and by doing so are forced to endure the long-lasting effects in isolation. Surrendering the Secret will allow women to release this burden and find freedom through 'redemptive community' while experiencing hope and joy as shame and failure are replaced with beauty.

No childcare provided. Please make arrangements for childcare at home.
