Overview

Mission

Project six19 is not a putrity movement. Rather, we are a movement designed to empower people to live out relationships in a way which brings true life, centered on christ.

What it reported doing in 2021

PROJECT SIX19 EXISTS TO PROMOTE BIBLICAL SEXUALITY THROUGH CULTURALLY RELEVANT EDUCATION AND INITIATIVES. A HOLISTIC APPROACH IS USED WHILE RECOGNIZING THAT A GROWING RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST INVOLVES THE RENEWAL OF THE WHOLE PERSON. A GROWING LOVE RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST IS CRITICAL FOR SPIRITUAL, PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SOCIAL HEALTH. THUS, WE ENGAGE CULTURE TO UNDERSTAND IT AND EQUIP OURSELVES WITH THE KNOWLEDGE TO SPEAK TRUTH INTO THE CURRENT CULTURE BY INTENTIONALLY CREATING ENVIRONMENTS THAT UTILIZE SPACE, TIME, COMMUNITY AND TECHNOLOGY. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE ENTER INTO COMMUNITY AND WORK WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WHOSE VISION AND VALUES ALIGN WITH THOSE OF PROJECT SIX19. WE BELIEVE IN FINDING INNOVATIVE WAYS TO COMMUNICATE OUR MESSAGE BY ALLOWING FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO MANIFEST THEMSELVES THROUGH AN ORGANIC APPROACH. WE WILL EARN THE RIGHT TO BE HEARD BY BEING SENSITIVE TO THE ETHNIC, RACIAL, SOCIOECONOMIC AND RELIGIOUS BACKGROUNDS OF OUR AUDIENCES.On January 25, 2022, the Board of Directors voted to cease ministry operations effective February 1, 2022.On January 27, 2022, the Chairman of the Board notified the two final employees that the ministry was closing and they would be paid for their services through February 28, 2022.From February 1, 2022 to the end of the year, the Board of Directors has worked to finalize all actions in order to file dissolution with the State of Washington.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 61% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 - 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.
