Answers:
1.
How often do the classes meet?
There are 13 class sessions meeting one day per week. Individual
churches may offer the same class multiple times per week.
2. How long is each class session?
We
suggest two hours for each session, and each is independent of the
others.
Part
One, taught by Dave Ramsey on DVD, teaches you how to make wise
financial decisions based on Scripture.
Part
Two of each class session is a small-group discussion. The design
of the discussion groups helps you apply the principles to your
daily life. Members hold each other accountable, build friendships,
and support one another. Since personal finance is 80% behavior,
this small-group format ensures that class members realize finance
is more than just math.
3.
What is the average size of the class?
The video portion of the class is unlimited. However, during
the discussion time, break down into 8-12 families, plus a coordinator,
for each small group.
4.
If I miss one class, can I make it up?
The coordinator can work with you to make up that lesson
by allowing you to take the video lesson home with you, as long
as you return it the following class. There may be a deposit required
to borrow a lesson on DVD.
