Overview

Mission

Faith community christian school is dedicated to helping students explore and discover their god-given potential. Fccs is committed to academic excellence in a christ-centered setting for grades preschool through 8th grade.

What it reported doing in 2024

Fccs has a hot lunch program that provides lunches to our k-8 students. These lunches are offered for 6 each, twice a week. In this program, our 8th grade students learn skills in preparing, cooking, and serving hot lunches to our other k-7 students, as well learning about cleanliness and sanitation in a commercial kitchen atmosphere. In fy25 approximately 4,288 lunches were purchased. Proceeds of this student activity program are used to purchase school t-shirts for all students to be used at school functions, help fund a fall retreat at echo ranch for middle school students and an all school retreat in the spring, eaglecrest ski days, and various other extracurricular and educational activities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 90% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
