Overview
Mission
The Mission of Church Hope is to glorify God by providing rest, hope and encouragement to pastors through sabbatical relief and other ministries.
What it reported doing in 2025
Our pastor partners completed three direct sabbatical missions for a total of 15-16 weeks. We also served several other churches by providing for pulpit supply, guest speaking at conferences and other gatherings and leading pastor cohorts.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
