Overview

Mission

Biblicaltraining.org is a not-for-profit ministry that gives all people access to the finest in christian education.

What it reported doing in 2024

2025 was a year of steady, meaningful growth for biblicaltraining.org. The organization welcomed over 25,000 new users, who together completed nearly 5,000 courses and more than 146,000 individual lessons. A strong signal that people aren't just signing up, they are actually engaging with the material. Traffic to the site grew month over month, with visits climbing past 880,000 for the year. Program wise, biblicaltraining made real headway on two long-standing goals. With support from a matching gift campaign, the team recorded 15 new classes to help fill in remaining gaps across the books of the bible - putting the "every book" vision within reach. At the same time, biblicaltraining launched a spanish-language initiative, pairing ai-assisted translation with native speaker review and newly recorded hispanic led introductions, and began building relationships with spanish-speaking church networks to extend that content's reach.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
