The American Baptist Home Mission Societies has been selected as a 2020 grantee of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, equipping ministry partners across the United States and Puerto Rico with tools for financial literacy and freedom. This on-going priority of ABHMS has taken on even greater importance in this time of economic uncertainty and stress for many in the wake of COVID-19. We invite clergy, lay leaders, educators, and non-profit ministry partners to join us for this training and the use of these tools.

Below you will find the 8-week webinar series calendar. One topic will be presented each week, with two sessions offered. Please register for one session per week. The first session will be held on Tuesday at 12:00 p.m. EDT, and the second session on Thursday, at 3:00 p.m. EDT. Please note that in the registration you will be prompted for your organizational affiliation. Begin your answer with “ABHMS” followed by the name of your particular ministry. This will enable us to follow up with you and offer on-going support in your use of these tools.

Freedom from debt and money stress is freedom for security, generosity, and interdependence. Let us together make earth more like heaven, the world’s economy more like God’s economy.
