Crown Financial Ministries
Crown small group studies are scripturally-based lessons shared with fellow seekers of God’s truth about money. You will find compassionate understanding from leaders who have been where you are. We will discuss God’s part and our part in financial matters, debt, spending plans, work, savings, investing, giving and goal setting. You will never be asked to share personal financial information. The class lasts ten weeks and each class is approximately two hours long. This study is for those who are in financial difficulty, for those who are curious to learn what God says about money, and for those who just want to grow close to Christ. The Crown Financial Ministry classes are for everyone.
This class does:
- Include homework, about 15 minutes a day
- A scripture memory verse each week
- Practical application
It does not:
- Endorse, recommend, or sell any financial investments
- Give specific investment advice
For more information, please contact either Deb or Dave Beal at dbeal@iowatelecom.net.

Exploring the Way
A six week course on practices to deepen one’s spiritual life.
“Exploring the Way will introduce you to basic concepts in the Christian spiritual life, along with biblical texts that undergird them. Stories and illustrations in each chapter will help you connect these basic concepts with your daily experience. To help orient you, the resource offers definitions of terms frequently used to describe the spiritual journey. Most importantly, you will begin to learn spiritual practices (disciplines) that can sustain you on the journey: scriptural meditation, prayer, daily examen, listening, and journaling…You will have a chance to “taste and see” one discipline each week in your meeting time and to reflect with others on your experience…” (Exploring the Way).
