The Foundations for Life - 9 Week Bible Study teaches more than practical financial principles—it teaches the successful combination of God’s wisdom along with practical principles. This teaching strategy treats more than the practical symptoms of financial bondage—it creates a long-term transformation of the heart. This is the most effective way to find biblically based answers to one’s financial questions and difficulties.

Crown’s most recent church survey reveals that typical participants increase their giving, reduce their debt, increase their savings, and strengthen their marriages during and after the life group experience.

And, this is what each life group member will experience during the study:

• They will learn what Scripture teaches about managing all of their possessions—not just money.
• Due to the group setting, they will develop lifelong relationships with other Christians.
• Key Scripture verses will be memorized each week, and they will learn a biblical approach to creating a spending plan, establishing a debt reduction plan, and managing their resources through practical exercises and accountability.
• And more!

A new feature which enhances this 9-week experience is –

The Web based Crown Budget Monitor (CBM) – The CBM provides three options for Budgeting (Available Free on Website)

1. Basic Version - PDF Formats for users who do not wish to use a Computer.

Leading a Study: (Leaders Guide provided  Free to Churches)

This study is designed to be led and administered by the local church. We recommend that the pastor/church leadership select a respected layperson to serve as a Crown Church Coordinator. The Coordinator is responsible for implementing the study(s) in the church and ensuring leaders understand the requirements of leading a study.

The Leaders Guide contains all the necessary information (including answers to the Study Questions) in a simple easy to follow format so that the Study Leader knows what is expected of them to lead a successful study that changes students hearts and minds in the area of Biblical Financial Principles.
