Overview
Mission
The purpose of this corporation shall be to glorify god by engaging in a bible teaching, christ-centered ministry by means of broadcasting, literature, camps, schools, campus work, and allied biblical meetings and missionary work. We teach the bible to those who attend our programs. We also teach others to reach and teach others the truth of the bible.
What it reported doing in 2024
Canyonview camp-we had campers attend the bible camps we conducted ourselves where our staff shared not only the bible, but also their own lives with the campers. These camps included day camps, resident overnight camps, resident overnight horsemanship camps, paintball/airsoftcamp, and an after-school riding lesson program with bible study. We have given camp scholarships to needy families so their children may attend our programs. As our campers become teenagers, we have a discipleship program, teens in ministry (tims) after going through this program, many who are college age become our camp counselors who work with the children. We now have had former campers and counselors sending their children to camp, become tims and becoming counselors themselves because of their positive christian experience in our programs. We leased our grounds to other christian groups so that they may teach their members, or prospective members, the bible. We have had many groups returning year after year because of the christian hospitality we show them and their patrons while they are using our grounds and facilities to teach god's word.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 79% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
