How to Get FPU Started Would you like to get FPU approved for your installation?

Here's How:

Chaplains

  1.  

    Get Approval

    • Schedule a meeting with decision makers.
    • Share with them the information portion in the Military Information Guide.
    • Show the orientation video.
    • Make sure your leadership will allow you to host FPU at the chapel.
  2.  

    Schedule Previews

    • Host previews around normal chapel times, either immediately before or following a service.
    • Go wild with promotions (See Promotional Ideas). Use bulletin inserts, hand out brochures, and make announcements during chapel. Show the military announcement videos during services and classes.
    • Personally invite at least 12 servicemembers.
    • Use outside promotions, such as installation newspapers, magazines, chapel marquees or other signs. Encourage servicemembers to bring family and friends.

  4.  

    Host Free Previews

    • Encourage soldiers to enroll in the class and purchase their FPU military membership (one membership per family unit).
  5.  

    Order Membership

    • Order leadership materials for you and a membership for each family unit enrolled.
    • Send an order form with one check.
    • Allow 7–10 days for delivery.
  6.  

    Start Class

    • Think outside the box! FPU can be used for the entire base or for specific groups, such as singles, couples, etc.
    • Allow two hours per session: one hour each for the video and small-group portion.
  7.  

    Optional: Locate a Sponsor for Your Installations

    • The United States Military has sponsored many servicemembers to take the course, but the need is much greater than the available funds. You can help.

      Dave recently created Adopt A Base—a program designed to give Americans the opportunity to sponsor a portion of the cost of FPU membership and material for servicemembers. To find a sponsor for your installation, contact Chris Woodard, Financial Peace Military Advisor, at 800.754.4211 ext. 5339.
