Overview

Mission

Minister to the public

What it reported doing in 2025

Assisted in providing low-to-moderate-income housing -- provided classes for 35 ESL adult students, for 20 children in after-school program; and 25 teens in weekly youth program

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
