Our Ministry Side

God has blessed us here at The LIFE Financial Group greatly, and because of it, we want to give back to our churches and communities. For many years, we have taught Biblical principles regarding the appropriate use of money and possessions to our clients. This private training has grown into a nation-wide ministry of preaching and teaching.

Stewardship Lifestyle Seminar

This Stewardship Lifestyle Seminar is the primary way that we are involved in preaching and teaching.  It is a 3-day series of meetings from Sunday through Tuesday evening.  On Sunday we provide the Biblical foundation that we will build upon in the remainder of the seminar.  There are several practical workshops offered throughout the seminar. 

The major benefit of our seminars is that we not only provide the Biblical foundation for financial management, but also the necessary applications for those truths.  We have found that instruction without application leads to frustration.  This is why we set a significant amount of time aside for confidential, one-on-one meetings with families to help them find ways to practically apply these principles in their unique situation.  We also encourage individuals to include their testimony of faith in Jesus Christ and include their local church or other ministry in their legal documents (i.e. Will and/or Trust). We then connect them with a local attorney who can draft or update their legal documents with a Biblical worldview.  Throughout our 30 years of ministry, we often see family debt reduced, church giving increased, and marriages strengthened as a result of our 3-day seminars.  We have also seen significant donations directed to the Lord’s work through our Stewardship Lifestyle Seminars.  Our goal is to equip the church members to be better managers of God’s money so that they will be better able to advance the work of the Gospel around the world. 

The Stewardship Lifestyle Seminar lays the groundwork for practical application in the individual families of churches. 

In the three general sessions, we PREACH on:  

• The Man With A Plan: based on 1 Timothy 5:8
• Biblical Sequential Priorities: based on several Scripture passages
• Your Stewardship and the Local Church: based on 1 Timothy 6:17

In the practical workshops, we TEACH on:

• Parents: A Beacon To Follow:  Challenges parents with the responsibility to train children in the area of money. We focus on pro-active parenting.
• Budgeting: Creating a budget to get out and stay out of debt.
• Financial Choices: Building on the foundation of biblical priorities, we explore the tools available to save, invest, insure, and plan for the retirement years.
• Christian Estate Planning: A fast-paced workshop that explores Estate Planning from God’s Word. With a local attorney, we explain the concepts in an easy to understand way. Private meetings are scheduled with the attorney to draft or update legal documents.

In stewardship reviews, we INSTRUCT individual families confidentially in:

• giving regularly,
• having proper legal documents,
• tweaking tax withholding to maximize income and reduce large tax refunds,
• increasing short-term savings,
• investing, including review and adjustment to employer sponsored plans,
• eliminating and staying out of debt, 
• and better managing 100% of their assets.
