Overview

Mission

To equip and minister to those in or preparing for ministry to enable them to fulfill the call to ministry specifically in the areas of sexual purity, marital issues and relationship boundaries.

What it reported doing in 2024

Counseling- In 2024, we scheduled 2100 hours of sessions offering counseling/therapy at reduced rates to hundreds of ministers, spouses and their families & 15 pastors joined Confidential Pastors Growth groups. We traveled and spoke at functions and events, teaching, equipping and encouraging, hosting seminars, conducting break-out sessions and filling the pulpit on Sunday mornings.

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 90% 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. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
