What it reported doing in 2024

St.John Northwest Church is an intergenerational family of believers and followers of Jesus Christ. We are founded and thrive upon four Christian tenets: Spiritual Formation, Community Service, Lifestyle Evangelism and Corporate Worship. We provided weekly, virtual and in-person programming for children, youth and adults that included small group discussions, Bible studies, worship services and special seasonal activities. The children were able to learn creative arts and crafts, videography, and STEM. We also was able to establish a community food pantry targeting seniors and vulnerable families with children.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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.
