Overview

Mission

To serve local churches to better serve their communities by improving the facilities, encouraging congregations, and drawing families to services; to serve homeschool families to offer tutoring services as a church by providing tutors, organizing a common curriculum, and purchasing manipulatives that individually would not make sense for a family to have; to provide community engagement and field trips; and to serve children by offering a faith community to learn with daily church services, PE services, and tutoring where parents are not capable or able to complete.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 91% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.

Key Signals

Signals prioritize questions for review. They are not findings of misconduct.

Grant-readiness screening is separate from the live rating, not a measure of program quality. Review the source records before making a grant decision.

  • Moderate — Sustainability: Total-asset coverage ratio scored 38/100.
  • High — Sustainability: Liabilities to assets ratio scored 13/100.
  • High — Sustainability: Officer compensation ratio scored 25/100.
  • Review — Grant Readiness: California registration: this organization could not be resolved against the register, so the check is unfinished.
