Overview

Mission

One Church exists to make disciples who make disciples. How do we do that? We connect, we grow, and we make a difference… and we help others to do the same. To Make Disciples Who Make Disciples. A disciple is a follower of Jesus. We make disciples by being disciples. Three key words summarize what that looks like: we connect, grow, and make a difference. God calls every Christian to be a disciple and to make disciples. We want to build big people and allow God to build His church. The Holy Spirit’s ultimate ambition is to point people back to Jesus. The Holy Spirit is God’s active force in our world today. The Holy Spirit is the presence of God who we interact with each day. In addition to the main idea of pointing people back to Jesus, the Holy Spirit convicts (John 16:8-11), illuminates (John 16:12-15), teaches (John 16:12-15), guides (Romans 8:14), comforts (Romans 8:16)...

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 71% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and liabilities are high compared with assets.
