What it reported doing in 2018

The touch canfield church, located on 2 acres at 10 skyline dr., canfield, Ohio, continues to be improved with construction and equipment upgrades. Throughout 2015 we installed the new portico parking lot entrance of the church along with the handicap pad and concrete breezeway. On the ground floor(basement) we installed doors in openings, a new metal handrail, carpeting, and miscellaneous elements. This area is primarily used for children's church, youth ministry, weddings and funeral receptions, and fellowship. Services continue to operate three per week (thursday evening and two services on sunday), with ministry schedules occupying the church nearly every day of the week. Many special events and holiday events were conducted throughout the year. Internal development programs and classes for mentoring, discipline and training have been implemented. Children's church is growing. The church purchased a bus that holds 29 people for ministry outreach and also to transport less fortunate people who might otherwise not be able to attend church activities

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 96% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
