Faith-based guidance on money matters will be available at the Crown Financial Ministries class starting in September at Saint Philip AME Church.

But to participate in the 10-week course, participants must attend an Aug. 23 orientation at 7 p.m.

The Crown Financial Ministries course teaches biblical principles on debt, counsel, honesty, giving, work, investing, perspective and eternity.

Classes begins on Sept. 13 from 7 to 9 p.m. in Room 226 in Saint Philip’s Education Building. The classes are free, but participants must pay for books.

Bernice Tanker, who coordinates the class along with her husband, Leroy, said the church has had a great response to the program.

“It’s a Bible study to help you deal with money and possessions,” she said Thursday. “Every Christian can benefit from it.”

Tanker said more than 600 adults and children have graduated from the financial classes.

Saint Philip AME Church is at 240 Candler Road at the intersection of Memorial Drive in Atlanta. For more information, contact Bernice Tanker at btanker@bellsouth.net or 770-493-7629 or 678-558-6618.
