Overview
Mission
It is our mission to reach out to kids and teens showing them Jesus Christ and helping them grow in Him.
What it reported doing in 2025
Outreach Ministry - Approx 200 students per year - teaches students who are not normally involved in weekly activities and shows them who God is through fun events and activities. In these activities they are invited to follow Jesus Christ and also become involved in our weekly ministry.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 90% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
