Faithful Stewardship
The Ron Blue Center at Anderson University equips students to live faithfully and steward God’s resources wisely. Through practical, biblically grounded financial education, students learn to manage money responsibly, plan for the future, and develop a posture of generosity that lasts a lifetime.
Our Mission
The mission of the Ron Blue Center is to equip students to be faithful stewards of God’s resources, glorifying him in all things that we do through sanctification in work that gives them purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in life. Through a process of introspection and intentional effort to transform patterns, behaviors, and habits, our goal is to help students live biblically faithful lives—shepherding their time, talents, and treasures by clearly identifying and segmenting the different areas of their lives.
Transformative Learning Opportunities
Students engage in a variety of co-curricular programs designed to build foundational financial skills: 
4-H Model Training: Learn principles of biblical stewardship and person responsibility.
Mastering Personal Finance: Gain practical knowledge for budgeting, saving, and investing.
Peer Coaching and Advising: Reinforce learning by mentoring fellow students on campus.
These experiences provide a solid foundation for financial decision-making and prepare students to live faithfully in all areas of life.
Advanced Financial Preparation
Beyond foundational skills, the Ron Blue Center offers advanced instruction and hands-on guidance in real-world financial topics: 
Home buying and mortgage planning

Students benefit from expert faculty who combine real-world experience with academic rigor, as well as industry leaders from banking, finance, law, and accounting. This unique collaboration provides personalized instruction and equips students for long-term financial success.
