Overview

Mission

The purpose of this church is to live and serve as a genuine body of believers, faithfully proclaiming the Word of God for the growth, encouragement, instruction, and loving discipline of its members and all who follow Christ. It is equally committed to reaching the unsaved with the gospel, guiding new believers in their spiritual development, and providing biblical instruction for children both locally and around the world through every appropriate religious, charitable, and educational effort.

What it reported doing in 2025

Missionary Assistance and Support - Monthly Sponsorship and Special Funds

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 82% 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

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
