Establishing A Spending Plan

Meeting with a Money Map Coach

Our Money Map Coaches are volunteers who have successfully completed the Money Map Coach Training Course offered by Crown Financial Ministries. These volunteers will assist you in developing a spending plan based on sound Biblical financial principles.


To receive the name of a Money Map Coach in your area, send an email to mmcoaching@crown.org. Include your complete name and address including zip code. Once you receive the name of a Coach near you, you must call the Coach to set up an appointment.


What to expect in a Money Map Coaching session

  1. Coaching Process
    • If you are married, both husband and wife should plan on attending together; otherwise very little can be accomplished.
    • The Money Map Coach will discuss Biblical stewardship and will explain what God expects from His children. Our Money Map Coachs are serving under the authority of their local churches.
    • The Money Map Coach will assist you in evaluating your present spending pattern and help you work toward a balanced spending plan.
    • Once the spending plan is established, the Money Map Coach will act as an accountability partner with you and will inform you of other studies that will enhance your understanding of Biblical stewardship.
  2. Information Needed
    • You may be asked to bring your checkbook register, income tax forms, paycheck stubs, bank statements, current bills, or other related information.
    • Your Coach will indicate exactly what he or she wants you to bring for the first meeting.
  3. Meeting Location
    • You will most likely be asked to meet in a neutral location where there are few distractions and where there is sufficient table space to work on your budget. Many times Coaches will use their local church.
  4. Session Length
    • Your first session will run between one and a half to two hours. Subsequent sessions should run a little over an hour.

Please note: Crown Financial Ministries considers it an honor to serve the people of God. The Money Map Coaching service is a lay ministry of the volunteer Money Map Coach, the local church, and Crown. There is no fee for this service. You may be given the option of purchasing material that will enhance your study of Godly stewardship, but you are under no obligation to purchase any item or study.

Our counselors are volunteers who have completed our Money Map Coach training and desire to assist God’s people in setting up a budget and learning in how to honor the Lord with their finances. Topics like investing, insurance, financial planning, and other related areas are not covered, other than to include these categories in a written spending plan if needed.

If you are specifically looking for this type of help, we suggest that you contact a professional near you. If you decide to contact CCCs of Atlanta and begin a debt management plan, please be aware that there is a nominal fee for the ongoing administration of the plan. However, there is no fee for the initial consultation.
