Overview

Mission

Creating spiritual and religious resources

What it reported doing in 2025

Liturgy that Matters - continued to provide hundreds of clergy and communities across the U.S. and some beyond with weekly resources to support them in worship prep through sermon commentaries and liturgy. The immediate number of people accessing the resource was around 1000 and those benefitting in a larger sense would be among the tens to hundreds of thousands participating in the liturgy or worship services shaped by the resource.

Operating model

Revenue model: Earned-program. 65% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
