Overview

Mission

To provide faith based education to children and educators serving communities through a biblical, relational, integral and experiential approach to teaching and learning.

What it reported doing in 2025

New initiatives: curriculum and training in the use of it and other resources to start up educational programs at external locations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 97% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
