Overview

Mission

In a divided world, we are connecting different people to a unifying god.

What it reported doing in 2022

Preschool: our church preschool program is an integral part of our community outreach and educational efforts. Based on principles of love, kindness, and inclusivity, our preschool program nurtures the overall development of young children in a warm, faith-based environment. Our curriculum is carefully designed to promote the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development of each child, instilling in them a lifelong love for learning. The program incorporates age-appropriate activities that foster creativity, critical thinking, and independence. These include hands-on learning experiences, arts and crafts, storytime, and outdoor play.

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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
