More about "Becoming Money Wise...". After much research about the various financial programs available, we selected this Christian workbook, with 6 chapters of: 1. Becoming a Responsible Planner, 2. Becoming a Disciplined Saver, 3. Becoming a Smart Spender, 4. Becoming a Debt-free Steward, 5. Becoming a Generous Giver, and chapter 6. is a Cash Flow Form.

The course is more like a small group experience, kept very comfortable, where you can share as much, or as little as you are wish.  We sometimes hear other testimonials, or of cases from our facilitator, and you will be offered lots of prayer, support, love and hope, along with the guidance.

If you are someone who does keep good records, or are financially responsible, but would just like to learn more about how God wants us to be good stewards, this is right for you too.

Our Mentor Team and Program

Our Mentors are a team of HCLC-commissioned servant volunteers, trained in financial planning, who lead these workshops.  All have been trained for this course by Phil Meinzen, of Concordia’s - Center for Financial Leadership, Inc. 

Our course follows a workbook, written by Ron Chewning, “Becoming Money Wise, a Scripturally-Based Practical Study on Money”.  This workbook is easy to follow, and includes Christ-centered advice on life’s financial matters.   We will be offering this course on a quarterly basis throughout the year, and we envision this program serving as an outreach for our community.  If additional help is needed?  While the course “Becoming Money Wise” will serve many people’s needs, if additional help and/ or support are needed, on an individual basis, our Matthew Mentors can also provide this care, confidentially.  Each of our Mentors has signed a covenant with HCLC, and Concordia’s CFL, Inc. allowing them to serve with compassion, and providing hope for one’s financial future.  Also, if a participant is seeking continued professional financial counsel, a Matthew Mentor may offer their professional services outside of this program.

FOR OTHER CONGREGATIONS: Concordia Center for Financial Leadership, Inc. has mentored HCLC, and can also for your congregation.  For more information, please contact: Dale Wiza, Director of Development, at Hales Corners Lutheran Church, 414-529-6700, or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , or Phil Meinzen at CFL 262-707-4493, or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
