Overview

Mission

Its primary purpose is to operate exclusively for charitable religious educational and scientific purposes and is specifically focused on to love and to teach the value of working hard, living pure, leading with courage and honoring Jesus through the platform of Sports, Arts, Vocation and Education.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization established sports programs including basketball, football, soccer volleyball, martial arts and wiffle ball and purchased equipment, field paint, and uniforms and hired clinicians to assist with helping young people succeed in their sports endeavors. The focus was teamwork and understanding spiritual growth.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 65% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
