Overview

Mission

The mission of Community Christian Ministries is evangelism, edification and unity of the saints.

What it reported doing in 2025

During the year books have been published and disseminated (sold and given); collegiate on-campus evangelism has been conducted throughout the year. Two bookstore/coffee houses near campuses served as resource centers for ministering to Christians and unbelievers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 88% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
