Overview

Mission

Real momentum is a spiritual leadership ministry that offers tailored men's ministry coaching, local church events and strategic mission partnerships. We help churches develop an effective disciple making ministry to men with others in mind.

What it reported doing in 2024

Hidden in a hollow, sanctuary hills is a safe place where pastors, couples, men or women, mothers and daughters, and fathers and sons can come to invest in themselves and the relationships that are most important to them. The beautiful rolling hills scattered across the east Tennessee terrain offer fantastic views of the smoky mountains with a vibrant sun rise and sun set. This christian retreat property is formerly a century farm, once producing a harvest of vegetables and grain year after year, but now is a getaway for those seeking refuge and renewal, transforming it into a haven for reflection, prayer, fasting, preparation, drawing closer to god and advancing the kingdom.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 87% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
