Eric & Sonja Parmelee

Eric Parmelee began facilitating the Financial Peace University program in 2007, and has offered the course twice a year ever since. His excitement about sharing the wisdom he’s gained from this program has resulted in almost every member having taken the course. The time he spends teaching the course and helping each member with specific problems is purely voluntary. It is encouraging and refreshing to see his example of taking an interest/strength and sharing it with the rest of the church.
