- Financial Peace University (FPU) Class - Tired of living paycheck to paycheck? Too much month left at the end of the money? During the 13 weeks of the class, you will learn about how to save money, live on a budget, communicate about money with your spouse, eliminate debt, and experience the joy of giving. The principles are taught via video by nationally known financial counselor, Dave Ramsey. The second hour of each lesson is a facilitated group discussion that molds those principles into the life-fabric of the individual participants. INFORMATION SESSION, SUNDAY, JUNE 1 at 5 PM, in the AUDITORIUM. Contact for more information. You can also learn more at the Financial Peace University website.

- Shepherd Affirmation/Reaffirmation - Every three years the Downtown church family conducts a shepherd affirmation/reaffirmation process to select new shepherds and reaffirm current shepherds that desire to continue serving. The congregation is encouraged to spend time in prayer during this process asking God to be with those men being called out to serve our church family.
- On Sunday, May 18, those receiving 70% confirmation of the yes or no selections will be presented to the congregation during our morning worship assemblies.
- The following three men have accepted their nomination: Curt Baker, Ross Cochran, & Gary Stephenson, and will enter the affirmation phase of the process. Current Downtown Shepherd, Bobby Churchman, has chosen not to be reaffirmed as a shepherd at this time. Bobby will soon begin doctoral work in accounting which will require an extensive amount of time and travel.
- Each of the nominees seeking to be affirmed and the current shepherds seeking reaffirmation has submitted an “introspection questionnaire” for review by Downtown members. Copies of the introspection questionnaires are available in the church library and office.
