Overview
Mission
To provide religious and educational resources that apply scriptural truths and the power of the cross to central issues of faith, life, and modern culture through digital media and community outreach.
What it reported doing in 2025
Developed and launched atthecrux.com, a digital platform dedicated to teaching central religious truths. Produced and distributed religious educational content, including articles and social media resources (monetized via Facebook), to reach a global audience. The organization successfully established its online presence and infrastructure to facilitate ongoing religious instruction and community engagement.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and liabilities are high compared with assets.
