Overview

Mission

The advancement of religion by training ministers and laity of the christian faith of all denominations in the principles of good mental health.

What it reported doing in 2024

For over 50 years, marble retreat has been the place to go when christian leaders need help. Over 4,500 leaders have been served, helping them to be healthier spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. This has had an immeasurable impact on the kingdom. Our mission is to help bring healing, hope, and restoration to those in vocational christian ministry and the church at large through christ-centered brief intensive counseling. This fiscal year, we were able to give 114,965 in funding assistance to pastors, missionaries, and other christian leaders to make it possible for them to vattend this life-changing program.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 82% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
