An overview of the Good $ense ministry components and resources available to help a church implement the ministry.

The Good $ense Budget Course

This six hour course is designed for everyone in the congregation, regardless of their financial situation. We goofed on naming it and it would be better promoted as "Principles and Practices for God-honoring Money Management" or "You, Money and Peace, Joy and Freedom"...you get the idea.

It teaches biblical principles of money management and trains people in the basic tools with which to implement those principles into their daily lives. And it does it in a grace-filled manner. Folks leave with their Spending Plan in their hand, the knowledge in their heads to implement it and the motivation in their hearts to follow through.

THE COURSE IS AVAILABLE IN SPANISH ALSO.

The Good $ense Counselor Training

This resource trains volunteer counselors to provide free, confidential and biblically-based budget counseling to those seeking additional insight into their situation or who are in financial difficulty. Such assistance is often integrated with other support ministries, such as benevolence.

Additional Good $ense Resources
