Overview

Mission

To receive and disburse charitable contributions for ministry services and the furtherance of the Apostolic Faith.

What it reported doing in 2025

We disburse contributions to various religious and charitable ministry services as approved by our board of directors.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
