Attention, Faith and Community Leaders:

CRCC’s inspirational leader Rev. Dr. Cecil L. Murray taught that congregations should help people with their spiritual AND social condition. By attending and sharing these sessions, you can help people gain tools to meet their financial and life goals.

As Rev. Murray said, it’s not enough to give people a fish or even teach them to fish; we must teach them how to own the pond.

Presenters will share information, resources and general strategies for economic empowerment. The presentation is not intended to be investment advice or personal financial counseling. Seek a duly licensed professional for advice.
