Testimonials

My husband Mike and I had enrolled in Dave Ramsey’s program, “Financial Peace University” in August of 2009. After completing the Ramsey program which provided us “the tools” to help put our financial house in order, I had felt prompted to seek further financial instruction. One of the class leaders made mention of the Crown Financial Program. She suggested it would provide a “reason” for Ramsey’s program. > Read More

I knew the Crown Financial session would be different than any of my numerous previous financial management classes. Money management based out of biblical scripture was something I never heard of. This was a totally new concept to me. > Read More

We just finished a 10-week course for Crown Ministries. Something we've read about for years but never had an opportunity to participate in, due to not having one in the area. When we were told about it, we immediately sign up. It was well worth the commitment. For someone, who followed Crown and Larry Burkett (one of the founders) for years, this was a chance to reaffirm our beliefs. For us coming back to the realization that our money isn't ours but a gift, we are to manage from God. > Read More

Testimonials

"It is with great joy and elation that Greg and I are pleased to announce that we are debt free (everything except the home mortgage)! By the Grace of God we were able to pay off $123,146.22 of consumer debt (including a second mortgage) since November 2006. Since that time in 2006 we gave birth to two children, had a child diagnosed with Autism, miscarried 1 daughter, lost my mother Barbara Andreani, survived cuts in pay due to the economic downturn and had to pay for childcare for 4 children (including 1 with special needs). Our road has not been easy but we have been blessed!" > Read More
