Wealth Finishing School™ · 2027 District Initiative

Preparing Together: Your Church's WFS Readiness

We are exploring a 2027 district initiative serving at least 400 participants across multiple churches. Participating members would take the Wealth Finishing School's 12-step journey, and participating pastors would attend four masterclasses.

Please submit one response per church. Share what is realistic today, rather than what you think we hope to hear; estimates and “not yet determined” answers are welcome.

Your responses will support initiative planning and follow-up. We may use combined, non-identifying results in planning and funding proposals; we will request separate permission before naming your church, quoting you, or describing your church as a committed partner.

Completing this survey does not enroll your church or authorize a payment. Schedule, pricing, roles, and participation terms will be discussed before any final commitment. Please do not enter individual members' names or any personal financial details.

Thank you

Your response is in.

Thank you. Your response will help us prepare for a useful conversation. We will follow up about the information session or the next step you selected; submitting this survey does not enroll your church.
