The October Challenge is C2FM’s gift to you during Pastor Appreciation Month!
It all starts with a question: What if five Thursdays could change the way you think about and manage your money?
We’re inviting you to take the C2FM October Challenge—a simple, practical way to strengthen your personal financial skills and head into 2027 with greater confidence.
And yes, there’s a little extra motivation: complete the challenge and receive a $100 Amazon gift card!
Here’s the challenge:
🗓️ Show up.
Join us every Thursday in October at 1 p.m. for a one-hour financial learning session. Spouses are welcome to attend. We’ll tackle topics that can make a real difference in your financial life:
· Your Credit Score: Know what affects it, how to improve it and stop worrying about it.
· Your Money Vibe: Discover how your attitudes and habits shape your financial decisions.
· Financial Stability: Know where you stand and what to focus on next
· Student Loans: Make sense of your options and next steps.
· Retirement: Balance long-term preparation with today’s financial priorities
✏️ Take action.
Each week, you’ll complete a short, practical assignment that helps you put what you’ve learned into practice.
🎁 Get rewarded.
Document your participation and completed assignments (I promise, they are simple, practical and set you up for success), and you’ll earn a $100 Amazon gift card.
But the real reward? You’ll finish October with new tools, greater awareness, and a clearer picture of your financial future.
Can’t make every Thursday?
We know ministry schedules can be unpredictable. There are still ways to participate, complete the challenge, and have an opportunity to earn the bonus gift card. Just mention your scheduling needs when you sign up.
Ready to take the challenge?
Start by investing one hour a week in yourself and your financial future.
