Overview
Mission
To introduce the racing community to a personal faith in Christ, growth in Christ-Likeness, and active involvement in church through relationships that provide care in times of stress, knowledge of God's word, and assistance in development of leadership skills.
What it reported doing in 2025
Chaplaincy 2025 provided 90 Chapel services and pastoral care to a racing community of 3000. Media chapel, Online Chapel, at track bible studies were all organized and attended as well as shop studies and home ministry bible studies. We have four full time MRO chaplains that minister to the Cup, Xfinity, Truck and NASCAR Pintys Canadian Series. In 2025, we also had 28 MRO- Association Chaplains, and Associates that minister to smaller racing series, and speedways across the United States.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 93% 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 - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
