Overview
Mission
Ministry exists to encourage teens, young adults, and families, and equip them for dynamic service for the Lord through events like Alive Camp music and drama, Summit Teen Rallies, and short-term mission trips, and through the productions of helpful resourses, including digital content and music.
What it reported doing in 2025
Alive Ministries provided a Christ-centered childrens theater program serving K5 through 6th graders. Through weekly classes, students received instruction in acting, music, choreography, and stage production while developing confidence, teamwork, communication skills, and Christian character. The program culminated in public performances that gave students the opportunity to use their gifts to serve the Lord and encourage others.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 62% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
MIXED - 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 a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
