Overview

Mission

To nurture, through counseling and teaching, the spiritual well-being of individuals through gods word as it relates to their emotional, relational, and mental health needs

What it reported doing in 2025

100 educational presentations and training sessions, attended by over 3,000 individuals. Special presentations included discipleship conference with 180 attending and marriage retreat with 29 couples attending. Additionally, 266 breaking bread podcasts are available, with over 534,000 downloads.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
