Financial Stewardship
Click here to pre-register for our financial stewardship classes.
Our purpose is understand and apply biblical financial principles for the glory of God. We educate people on stewardship of their resources and help them develop their spiritual walk with God at home, work and play. We provide a variety of classes and events, schedule one-on-one budget coaching and give direction to those with emergency needs as approved by Scottsdale Bible Church pastors.
Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed (1 Timothy 6:17–19).
Education
Our ministry provides training and practical application using Crown Financial Ministries and Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University material. You may choose your level of involvement based on your availability of time. Contact Joyce at jgraham@sbcaz.org or 480.824.7334 for dates of upcoming classes. Pre-registration is required.
The classes we offer are varied in subject and length. Group and table facilitators are people, like you, with a heart to help others learn basic biblical concepts. We offer church-wide seminars and we promote awareness of Scottsdale Bible Church Foundation and tax credit contributions.
Over the next three years we challenge you to take each of the following classes to help put your financial house in order. You will be blessed.

Counsel
If your aptitude includes tough-love, consider serving by walking alongside those who request personalized financial assistance by becoming a financial counselor. You will receive training in order to fill this great need.
Assistance
On occasion, in conjunction with Scottsdale Bible’s Financial Department, we assist an individual or family with an emergency expense, funded by the Elder Fund. A steward of the day is assigned to the person(s) to help them get their financial situation in order.
