For a second year in a row, GRACE collaborated with First Baptist Grapevine to put on another successful Faith & Finance Class for GRACE Clients and we must say that it was amazing!
Financial stability is a very important part of becoming self-sufficient. Here at GRACE, we are always trying to find new ways to guide our clients on their journey into self-sufficiency, and our community helps us do this in so many special ways. One of those ways is our Faith & Finance Class
The Faith & Finance class is a 9-week course, from the Chalmers Faith-Based Curriculum, which is designed to help individuals manage their finances, with the end goal being Christ-centered flourishing. This course was coordinated by Certified Public Accountant, Monica Huber, and Treva Donnelly.
Throughout the course, GRACE clients were paired with mentors, who met with them during the week to pass on tools and advice on how to become financially stable. This course also touches on topics such as discerning “wants and needs” and how to select banks that best fit financial goals. Childcare and dinner were provided each week.
“After I took the Faith & Finance Course, I was inspired to go on and become a certified instructor,” said Monica. “This is such an amazing course, which I think that everyone needs to take”.
This past Sunday, we graduated all of our Transitional Housing ladies from the Faith & Finance Course. These ladies are now another step closer to being self-sufficient and ready to take on the world!
We want to thank, Monica, Treva, and the mentors from First Baptist Grapevine, for bringing the Faith & Finance class once again to our clients. We truly understand the importance of financial stability and we are so glad to have the opportunity to partner with the Chalmers Center again!
