Overview

Mission

We equip local leaders to transform cities by impacting their homes, workplaces and communities with faith love and hope.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Global City Changers Movement is an extension of the Doxa Deo dream. We mobilize the church based Christian community in different spheres of society for the transformation of cities globally. Christian leaders are often isolated and ineffective in establishing the cause of Christ while pastors dream about a church that is flourishing, relevant and impacting the community. Yet they find themselves in a modern-day society that marginalizes the church and embolden consumerism. City Changers equips LOCAL LEADERS to change their world. Can you imagine thousands of Church and Societal leaders all over the globe engaging the Mission of the Kingdom of God, to bring Redemption and Restoration in this world, leading with SPIRITUAL FORTITUDE, STRATEGIC INSIGHT and SERVANT LEADERSHIP.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

MIXED - Program spending has grown recently and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
