Financial empowerment.
Faith-based, practical classes on budgeting, debt reduction, saving, and biblical stewardship — offered free of charge to our neighbors in Norwalk and greater Los Angeles.
A practical, judgment-free space
Financial stress touches almost every family. Our Financial Empowerment program is designed to help individuals and families take honest stock of their situation, build sustainable habits, and move toward stability and generosity — with practical tools and biblical principles side by side.
Sessions are led by volunteers from our congregation and community partners, and are open to anyone regardless of faith background or church affiliation.

Small-group classes and workshops. Some sessions are single evenings; others are multi-week series. Materials are provided; there is no cost to attend.
Where
On our Norwalk campus at 12191 Firestone Blvd. Accessible parking and step-free access are available. Let us know if you need any specific accommodations.
Current schedule
Class dates rotate through the year based on volunteer availability and community interest. Rather than publish a schedule that may change, we ask interested individuals and families to contact us directly so we can share what's currently planned, add you to the interest list, and let you know as soon as the next series is confirmed.
If you have a specific topic you'd like to see covered — or you're a professional in banking, accounting, financial planning, or credit counseling and would like to help teach — we'd love to hear from you as well.
