“GOOD $ENSE”

A ministry within a ministry!

The mission of a Good Sense Ministry is to educate people about the Biblical Financial Principles of money management so they can move out of financial bondage into financial freedom.  It is the goal of Real Life Family Center that all family members are free - free to draw closer to God by eliminating financial burdens/barriers.

 “Good Sense” has two primary strategies:

• Teach and encourage people in the practical application of Biblical Financial Principles
• Train and equip Good Sense counselors to provide free, biblically based, confidential counsel to assist individuals and families in addressing financial difficulties OR avoid these difficulties altogether.

God created everything and retained ownership of all He created.  Therefore, whatever we possess is entrusted to us by God.  We are not owners, but trustees.  Learn what the Bible has to say about the five financial areas; how to be generous givers, wise savers, cautious debtors and prudent spenders.
Real Life Family Center is equipped with trained Counselors to assist anyone who asks.  If your goal is financial freedom, take your first step by contacting any one of our competent counselors or the ICU Ministry Coordinator.

All Profiles are confidential and will only be viewed by you and your Counselor.  Once you have completed your Initial Profile, place it in the confidential envelope and return it to the General Information table during church, the prayer request boxes by the outside doors or bring it to the RLFC headquarters office.  If you have a preference of Counselor, please indicate that on your Profile, as well.

We base our ministry on Biblical Financial Principles.  For a more in-depth study, see the following verses:
