The personal checkbook is  struggling. The savings rate is at the lowest level in 70 years and consumer debt continues to rise dramatically. There were 1.4 million personal bankruptcies in the U.S. in 1998, and 56 percent of all divorces are the result of financial tension  in the home. 


According to an article in the Wall Street Journal on December 28, 2001, household debt in the US had risen to $7.5 trillion as of October 31. This was an increase of 8.5% in one year.

Did you know that God gave us over 2,350 verses in the Bible dealing with money and property management? Crown Financial Ministries helps people learn these Biblical concepts through small group Bible studies. There are also educational materials for all age groups including children, teenagers, college students and adults.

The Bible does not say that debt is a sin or that it is wrong. It does say that it is bondage: "The rich rule the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender." 
Proverbs 22:7

The St. Thomas More Crown Financial Ministries is dedicated to teaching biblical financial principles to God's people in order that they may know Christ more intimately and be free to serve Him.
