Overview

Mission

Individual, marriage and family counseling.

What it reported doing in 2025

Samaritan counseling center provides numerous hours of pastoral counseling to individuals, couples and families regardless of their ability to pay the full cost of counseling. Pastoral counselors are qualified in therapy and sensitive to spiritual concerns. The organization also provides preventative programs for churches and the community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 74% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
