Overview

Mission

Ingalls Creek gathers people to explore, embrace, and engage with Gods transforming work in the world.

What it reported doing in 2025

Part III 4b. Ingalls Creeks Center for Faith, Calling, and Community (CFCC) offered 19 distinct programs serving 334 people in 2025. Programs included Life Stage Retreats (Aging Well and Living Well), a special event Taste & See, a spring Mens Retreat, and Space for God Retreat, our popular summer Day Camp for kids in grades 2-6, and reintroduction of our Cool Beans Day Camp for kids age 4-7. We experimented with online events for Aging Well in January, February, and March. We also held another successful Memorial Day Work Weekend. The Pastors Wellness Retreat and Womens Retreat planned for October 2025 were both cancelled due to fire danger, smoke, and temporary site evacuation. A smaller Pastors wellness event took place online, and a smaller Womens event took place offsite in Cashmere. Moving forward, program staff are exploring new approaches to developing programs in line with ICECs freshly articulated mission, vision, and core values that will engage wider participation. More than 1,500 additional people were impacted through Ingalls Creeks 10th REACH Summer Fellowship Program serving non-profit organizations in the Wenatchee Valley.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 70% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
