Overview

Mission

To train christian leaders.

What it reported doing in 2025

Both the children's and adult fellowship programs have continued to significantly progress and grow. Our counseling work has continued to increase as well, especially so given the current climate. We have also continued developing leaders to run effective child nutrition programs. We have also gotten more involved with the growing need to address the bullying issue with respect to the school-age children we serve, and to assist with their healthy psychological development in today's society. Our marriage counseling workload continues to increase, partly we feel due to the stressed economic climate couples are currently facing.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
