Overview

Mission

Our primary goal is to help men and women develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and apply the lessons they learn to every part of their lives.

What it reported doing in 2024

We had 60 students complete our program this year. The Center runs a long-term residential faith-based program that ministers to men with drug, alcohol and other addictions as well as life controlling issues. The program consists of three main parts: Spiritual, academic and vocational. Students are provided an environment of learning, accomplishing, self discipline, spiritual and personal growth.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
