Are you struggling with debt?
Recent data from LendingTree has revealed that a significant percentage of residents in the nation's largest metros are facing challenges with debt, and Aiken is no exception. Recognizing the urgent need for financial empowerment within the community, Cedar Creek Church is excited to announce the launch of Financial Peace University (FPU), a transformative program designed to help individuals and families break free from the burden of debt and build a secure financial future.
According to the LendingTree study, nearly 30% of residents in the nation's largest metros were behind on at least one debt payment during the third quarter of 2023, with over a quarter having debt in collections. Millennials and Gen Zers were particularly affected, with high default rates on various types of accounts. Aiken, too, is grappling with the challenges posed by financial strain.
What to Expect
A three-week in-person program, beginning Augst 12th, that aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to take control of their finances.
The program includes engaging video lessons, each lasting about an hour, followed by group discussions and activities to reinforce key concepts. This collaborative learning environment is a cornerstone of FPU and has proven to be the most transformative aspect of the program.
"We understand the financial stress many individuals and families are facing, and Financial Peace University provides a roadmap for them to take charge of their financial well-being," said Phillip Lee, Senior Pastor at Cedar Creek Church.
Results
The results of FPU are compelling – graduates pay off an average of $5,300 in debt and save an average of $2,700 in just 90 days. This financial turnaround of $8,000 is achieved through the commitment of attending classes once a week for a few weeks, making it a practical and accessible solution for those seeking lasting financial change.
Who is Financial Peace University for?
The answer is simple: anyone who wants to regain control of their finances. Whether you're dealing with past mistakes, feeling the weight of wasted time, or banking on a higher income to fix the problem – FPU is for you. The program fosters an environment free of judgment or shame, where participants come together to navigate the complexities of managing money.

"We believe in the power of this proven system, and we're confident that every individual can achieve financial freedom with the right tools and support. After our class, the average FPU graduate is debt-free in two years or less. It's not easy, but it works – if you will," added Pastor Phillip Lee.
