Mike Coe lives in San Clemente, California. Mike has been married for 31 years to his high school sweetheart. Mike and Sue Marie have two children (27 and 22).

In 1987, Mike had accumulated debts totaling nearly $700,000. Through a series of circumstances, he and his wife began searching for help in the area of their finances. After several months, it became clear that God wanted them to get out of debt. They totally surrendered their entire financial lives to God and began their journey towards financial freedom. By learning and applying God’s principles for financial freedom, they were able to become totally debt free within 10 years.

In 1996 Mike founded the non-profit teaching ministry, Christian Oriented Education, Inc. (C.O.E., Inc.).  The aim of their ministry is to help Christians understand God’s plan for financial freedom (Colossians 1:28 ), and assist anyone interested in getting their financial house in order.

Mike has been helping people understand the practical and Biblical principles involving money management through seminars, classes, and personal counseling since 1992. From 1993 to 1997 he worked as a part-time counselor and seminar instructor for Dave Ramsey (best selling financial author and syndicated talk show host of  “The Dave Ramsey Show”).


Christian Oriented Education, Inc., is a non-profit, tax deductible 501 c (3) teaching ministry aimed at helping people live life more skillfully. "Teaching the practical applications of Biblical Principles"

The primary focus of this ministry is aimed at providing education in the area of personal finance.  The numerous testimonies of changed lives are a result of those who have learned and applied the principles that are taught.

The LOGO for the ministry (a red dot located in the center of an equal sided triangle), gives a complete description of how you can have TRUE FINANCIAL FREEDOM!

THE TRIANGLE represents our responsibilities.  Within the fulfillment of these responsibilities we can find safety, success and prosperity.  The three lines of equal length represent the need for balance.  The joining of these three lines symbolizes that it is not a destination we pursue but rather a continuous journey. 

The bottom left corner of the triangle points to the need to develop the right Attitude.  Our focus should be learning to make good choices, understanding and applying discipline, growing in wisdom and accepting God's Word as an absolute in dealing with all of the issues of life.

The bottom right corner of the triangle points to the need to take action.  Application of Biblical and common sense principles is how we effect change in our lives.  Applied wisdom results in success.  When connected, the first two points lay a foundation for the future. 

The top corner of the triangle points to the unlimited possibilities that result through the Assimilation of the right attitude with sound Biblical and common sense principles.  Not only will we begin to live life skillfully but we will also be equipped to share our knowledge and success with others (spouse, children, friends and those God brings into our lives).

THE RED DOT is placed in the center of our responsibilities to fill what was an empty void.  The Red dot represents our need to acknowledge God.  Although we may be able to live a more responsible life on our own, we will never be able to experience the peace, joy, blessings, happiness and freedom that come when we understand, accept and walk in harmony with God's perfect plan for our lives.

The Red Dot is also a reminder that the first drop of Christ blood that was shed on the cross was the reason that we are able to not only be financially free but also eternally free from the consequences of sin. 

Independently, these two symbols remind us of our responsibilities and our Hope.  When synthesized, they represent a completed life.
