Overview

Mission

To produce and promote documentary films that help the church reflect christ and redeem culture.

What it reported doing in 2025

Artist community: we believe a healthy partnership between local churches and christian artists is perhaps the greatest overlooked resource in the church. For the first time in history, what artists create goes out through media into every area of society - every nation, tribe, and tongue. They're media missionaries. We are working to help artists and churches work together to reflect christ and redeem culture.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
