What it reported doing in 2025

The mission of powerhouse ministries is to teach the gospel through speaking engagements and worship, personal ministry and help to the poor and needy. Speaking and worship engagements can be hosted by powerhouse ministries as well as fulfilling invitations to minister elsewhere, both in the us and abroad. Classroom settings are also offered, free of charge, for individuals to learn how to minister to others. Personal ministry is provided in churches, the powerhouse ministries offices and retreat center, places of business (where we might pray for employees or the workplace), in the streets and through outreaches. Assistance is also provided to the poor and needy through donated provisions and is dispersed throughout the u.s. And abroad, through foreign missions.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 91% 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
