Overview

Mission

To support HighPoint Fellowship Cedar Park by providing Christian-centered education activities to the community.

What it reported doing in 2024

High Hopes Preschool (HHPS) - The vision of HHPS is to create a place to experience Gods love and explore His wonderful world while providing families with a place of help, hope, and healing. HHPS provides two, three, four, and five-day Christian education programs for children ages two years through pre-kindergarten. School days extend from 9am to 2pm each day with early drop-off and late pick-up available. The school year begins in September and ends in May.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
