Overview

Mission

U-Turn for Christ Oregon is a ministry established to help men trapped in the bondage of addiction through restoration and transformation, grounded in God’s Word and Christian faith. Our greatest need is partners in prayer, committed to lifting the ministry of U-Turn For Christ in prayer. This opportunity to have the capacity to serve more men, families, and children will require those who feel lead to come along side the ministry and support it financially. A one time tax deductible donation, or monthly donations are needed to make the vision that God has given U-Turn a reality. If you feel led to partner with us please contact Pastor Kevin. Thank you very much and God bless!

What it reported doing in 2024

Provided housing, training, food, and rehabilitation to men seeking restoration from drug and alcohol addiction, through our lord jesus christ, to become useful members of our society.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 89% 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

STRONG - 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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
