Purposeful planning is the key to a successful financial future. Regardless of age, occupation or current income there are things you can do TODAY to help prepare for a restful retirement.

Unfortunately, homelessness is on the rise and has been for the past two decades. By its very nature, homelessness is impossible to measure with 100% accuracy but according to the U.S. Conference of Mayors report 2008, 19 of the 25 cities reported an increase in homelessness over the previous year.

Workshop topics include: Youth Abstinence, Dating God’s Way, Singleness as a Gift and Are You Man Enough, plus many more.

By now most of us have heard the statistic - 72% of all African American children are born to unwed mothers which is a rate that eclipses every other ethnic group in our country. Are you thinking that it is not your problem? Well think again.

This includes money spent on child support enforcement, Medicaid, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). This economic and ethnic crisis has been described as a cancer that is eating away at the fabric of our communities.
