Overview

Mission

Lifestyle biblical counseling (lbc)institues "the joy of the lord" through biblical guidance and instruction. Our foundation is the word of god. His word is infallible and is used in every area of life. We teach individuals and couple how to fill every void in their life, becoming a tree planted beside a river, ever nourished by our triune god.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
