This course helps clergy strengthen their financial literacy, both personally and as it pertains to church finance. The United Methodist Foundation of West Ohio is sponsoring this 8-week course. Students will meet once a week via Zoom to watch the video and discuss the lessons provided with program co-author and WOC clergyperson, Rev. Anna Guillozet.

          Saving Grace: A Guide to Financial Health is a program to help people of faith create healthy relationships with money and possessions. Participants will move through six sessions covering such topics as saving, earning, giving, spending, and debt, along with helpful strategies for achieving a sustainable financial life. Adapted from the best-selling Freed Up Financial Living from the Good Sense Movement, this study is based on Wesleyan values and provides text and tools to help participants address life concerns and reach personal financial goals.
           In the clergy course, three additional sections address financial issues unique to pastors, bringing together faith and vocation while attending to the unique financial details of living as a pastor and being employed by the church. The clergy workbook contains worksheets and downloadable planners.
