Financial Coaching Ministry is a free service available to anyone at Mars Hill Church, and it includes three basic components. h3. Financial Coaching Appointments Mars Hill Financial Coaches are volunteers, members of the church with a proven record of sound financial stewardship. These men and women meet with individuals and couples within Mars Hill to help them: * Get out of debt * Create a budget * Plan for the future * Learn what the Bible teaches about financial management (stewardship) *If you'd like to make an appointment with a financial coach, email money at marshillchurch.org* h3.
