Overview

Mission

To transform culture by fulfilling the great commission. To love the Lord and to love all people.

What it reported doing in 2025

Outreach and Itinerant Ministry- This ministry is specifically for serving outside the four walls of the church through evangelism crusades. This includes taking a trained ministry team into different cities to host meetings in order to preach the good news of the Kingdom.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
