Art and Crystal regularly post retirement related insights at Christian Retirement Class | Facebook

In this class retirees Art & Crystal Prunier help you gain a deeper understanding of the many aspects of retirement planning.  It’s not all about the money, though they will spend considerable time covering that topic.  Rather, it’s the non-financial aspects they also discuss (Social Connections, Meaningful Activities, Physical Health and Spiritual Life) that will be critical to your retirement happiness.

Class Videos. These can be viewed over the Internet when it fits your schedule.  The video format is similar to what can be seen in the Promotional Video: either Art or Crystal talking, with accompanying text, plots and other images appearing in the main area of the video.

For the Summer class, the roughly 9 hours of video lessons are released all at once.  There are no optional weekly class discussions, making this a purely self-study class.

For the Fall class, the video lessons are released weekly for 6 weeks.  Each week has 4 to 6 new videos, totaling between 1 and 2 hours of viewing.  The Fall class also has optional online Class Discussions each week, providing an opportunity for class participants to dig further into the previous week’s video lessons.  Those unable to attend live can watch recordings of the Class Discussions at their convenience.

Printed Class Notes.  We mail you the same printed class notes (241 pages, with 3-hole punch) regardless of which class session you choose (Summer or Fall).

The cost for the course is $40 per household.  This includes the cost of mailing the class materials to you anywhere in the U.S. 

A reduced cost of $30 per household is available for those living in the Midland, Michigan area who are willing to pick-up the class materials directly from the Pruniers.  (Instructions will be provided after registration.)
