SOMERSET, N.J., Feb. 28, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Renaissance Community Development Credit Union (RCDCU) joins First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens (FBCLG) in an effort to eliminate debt through an auto loan "Refinance and Save" promotion. The promotion is designed to encourage borrowers to take advantage of lower interest rates, which will result in lower monthly auto payments. Financing will be provided to those who qualify.

The "Refinance and Save" promotion will take place from March 1, 2014, through April 30, 2014. Credit union loan specialists will be on site at First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens, 771 Somerset Street, Somerset, NJ, on the following Sundays: March 2, March 9, and March 16 after the 7:00 a.m., 9:00 a.m., and 11:00 a.m. worship services.

This promotion is part of the First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens dfree® strategy. The primary goal of dfree® is to eliminate all debt, delinquencies and deficits resulting in healthy, comfortable living. "We have learned that too many people are paying for cars with unacceptably high interest rates," said Rev. Dr. DeForest B. Soaries, Jr., author of dfree: Breaking Free From Financial Slavery and creator of the dfree® strategy. "One of our church members saved $400 a month by refinancing his car during the previous offering of this promotion. We are grateful to RCDCU for their partnership and efforts."

The promotion is available for new loans only; existing RCDCU auto loans do not qualify. For those who do not qualify for the promotion, special dfree® credit repair sessions will be provided.
