About Us

History

Bob Blayter founded the Financially Free Seminars in 1980 as a series of studies for the purpose of teaching people to understand and apply sound principles for managing money. Over the years, Bob has taught these principles in hundreds of churches and businesses in Arizona, as well as out of state.

Vision

The overriding vision at Financially Free Seminars is three fold.

  • To equip the participants with the knowledge necessary to successfully manage their money.
  • To stress the importance of leading a debt free life by living within their means.
  • To assist people to leave a sound financial legacy for their children to follow.

Seminar Format

The Financially Free Seminars are half-day sessions designed to teach a budget system that is practical and easy to learn. It is presented in a group setting with a combination of lecture, discussion, and the opportunity to practice setting up an actual budget. Participants will receive a syllabus, as well as booklets with helpful tips on personal organization and cutting costs.

 

You will learn to…

  • Set up a written budget that anyone can do. All you need to know is how to add and subtract.
  • Pay off debt without consolidating or getting raises.
  • Cut costs without changing your standard of living.
  • Spend money without feeling guilty or fearful.
  • Stop all financial conflicts with your spouse.

Your instructor: BOB BLAYTER

 

Bob always liked math! From the time he was in grade school, he thought about becoming a math teacher. Eventually, a passion for teaching and a love for people, led him into the ministry, where he regularly came across people who desperately needed help with their finances. Since math was still something he enjoyed, he decided to develop a practical course to teach people how to manage their finances. This was the beginning of the Financially Free Seminars.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
Bob received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Religion from Grand Canyon University, and a certificate of graduate studies from Fuller Theological Seminary, both in Phoenix, AZ. He worked as a manager trainee for a major utility company in the Phoenix area, which provided him with invaluable insights into the business community. He then joined Word of Grace Church in Mesa, AZ where he served as Senior Associate Pastor for several years.

Currently, Bob is Associate Pastor at Wonderful Mercy Church in Gilbert, AZ where he serves part time, in order to devote more time to the Financially Free Seminars. Bob’s ability to communicate clearly, concisely, and with a sense of humor, is one of the reasons why his seminars have been so successful. Bob has been married to his wife, Maria for 28 years. They have two adult children and five grandchildren.
