Overview
Mission
Our mission is: to love the lord our god with all our heart, mind, and soul. To present the gospel of our lord to the world. To train children and christian laymen to be witnesses, teachers, and servants. To provide a christian boarding school for children in need of permanent housing. To provide christian education for children that have difficulty functioning in the traditional classroom environment.
What it reported doing in 2025
Provided a complete academic and music program which includes room and board that promotes christian teaching, citizenship, spiritual maturity, academic growth, and service. There was one student in 2025 who was a minority. In 2025, as an ongoing benefit to eight of the program graduates who lacked any familial connections, the organization continued to offer ongoing support. This post-graduation assistance included financial aid, material help with physical needs, relational and family-style support, guidance with tax matters, assistance with future planning, and support for vacation and travel opportunities, among other forms of practical and personal help aimed at fostering long-term stability and well-being.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 90% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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 voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
