Overview

Mission

Gpc's primary exempt purposes is to provide education and training in gestalt pastoral care. Gpc is rooted in the christian ministry of healing and integrates gestalt growth work, spiritual companioning and prayer for holistic healing-body, mind, spirit, emotions and social context-in a way that is unique for each individual. Both ordained and lay persons of christian faith provide training programs and retreats.

What it reported doing in 2025

Educational opportunities through gpc training classes and supervision. Pastoral care through retreats (opening to grace available to all with some specific communities encouraged: clergy, african american population, victims of domestic violence and low income single mothers.)

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 total spending goes to programs.
