Overview

Mission

In all of our activities, we seek to support children and families in their journey of faith and give them tools and resources along the way. All are welcome. "From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus." - 2 Timothy 3:15.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
