Overview

Mission

Our mission is to help christian married couples develop a biblically healthy marriage. We do this through teaching, coaching, and all-inclusive marriage intensives.

What it reported doing in 2025

Speaking engagements - this program is designed for sermons and educational sessions at churches. This is often the entry point to other programs at the marriage adventure. Each speaking engagement will focus on marriage and family and uses content from the marriage intensive program.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 83% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
