Overview

Mission

To accomplish the following: assist organizations in accomplishing the great commission by helping them clarify their vision, simplify their strategy, and maximize their leadership capabilities; extend executive mentoring and leadership resources to empower individuals who desire to use their talents to grow god's kingdom; guide organizations through the process of developing and implementing strategies for spiritual, numerical, and financial growth.

What it reported doing in 2019

Strategic planning program: leadership outreach coaches and strategists work with churches and faith-based nonprofit organizations in the development of their short- and long-term ministry plans. Through onsite facilitated sessions, our team of strategists help client teams set their ministry goals, quantifiable yearly objectives, supporting strategies and detailed actions plans. Working together we determine the factors that are critical to the ministry's success and work to identify and overcome the barriers to growth. Through ongoing coaching, we strive to help our clients with the execution of each phase of their ministry plan. We currently work with churches of all sizes and denominations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
