Overview

Mission

To promote excellence in music and musicianship within the context of corporate Christian worship by providing education, support, and resources for musicians committed to the authority of the Word of God as solely revealed in the Holy Bible and committed to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
