Have the economic trials and concerns we’re facing today affected your spiritual walk? Would you like to spend time with other Stonebriar couples committed to learning and putting into action God’s plan for your financial life? Now, more than ever, may be the ideal time for you to join a Crown Ministries Biblical Financial Study.

A Crown Ministries Biblical Financial Study is a ten-week, in-depth study that shows what Scripture teaches concerning money and possessions. Studies are administered by leaders, like us, here at Stonebriar. As we work through Crown lessons, Life Group participants learn how to handle money "God’s way." The study is not only about tithing or debt management, but offers a broader picture—God owns it all, a concept taught from 1 Chronicles 29:11–12. Participants are challenged to think and plan for a more peaceful financial future (something many hoped they had done before the current economic upheaval).

Over the years, as leaders, we have developed long-lasting friendships with many Stonebriar couples. We've journeyed and watched couples strengthen their marriages while discovering a way out of debt. Today, these couples are  consistent savers, generous givers, and prudent consumers. Most importantly, they have entered into a closer relationship with Jesus Christ by  learning to apply His Word to their finances. We encourage you to investigate and prayerfully consider signing up for a Crown Life Group this fall. Orientation is August 30. Life Groups begin the week of September 13.
