First Step Recovery Home

Partnership with Tugi, Cameroon
Starting in 2006, the people of Faith Presbyterian Church began supporting a school in Tugi, Cameroon. This small African village was in dire need of aid for local teachers and students. Since 2006, FPC has donated funds each school year to support the salaries of the teachers. Our annual support has helped exam results improve substantially, from 0% to 72% in 2007, and from 72% to 100% in 2008. We look forward to growing this partnership into an ongoing mission opportunity.

Financial Peace University
Financial Peace University is a class that trains people to manage financial resources. The 13-week class, based on Biblical principles, is taught by Dave Ramsey (via DVD) and followed by small group discussion. During the 13 weeks of the class, it is typical for attendees to change their financial practices to the extent that they reduce their debt by an average of $5,300 and they save as much as $2,700.
FPU was held in the Fall of 2008. Please contact the church office if you are interested in attending should the class be offered in 2010.
