Overview

Mission

To provide programs and support to local children. We provide community programs that offer children the education that they are loved and that their lives have a special purpose. We teach the children the truths in the Bible and offer support and knowledge on how to live a life following the example of Jesus Christ.

What it reported doing in 2025

Kids for Christ Program: This is our largest program in which we serve over 6,000 students K-8th grade both in the fall and spring. We provide a free after-school program that teaches them the truths of the Bible and that they are special and loved by God. We provide a non-denominational Bible-based curriculum with crafts music games and a lesson. We also provide a t-shirt and Bible to each student. We have 62 sites in Southern IL KY and FL where our program is offered. This program also runs a free summer camp for 100+ low-income students in Belleville IL to promote Christian values & positive self-image to those most at risk in our local area. The children are set up for school with a backpack supplies dental cleaning screening and services to encourage a healthy & successful school year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
