Overview

Mission

Helping people experience fullness of life. We believe conforming to god's unaltered, unchanging design leads to human flourishing.

What it reported doing in 2021

The unaltered life is a 12-week journey helping participants become who god created them to be and do what he created them to do. The program's purpose is to build radical disciples of jesus christ who experience fullness of life and transform the world. Participants engage in a discover-develop-deploy strategy that facilitates them bringing awareness to how god is at work in our culture and the opportunities that exist to make an impact in his kingdom. During the 2021-2022 fiscal year, unaltered hosted three semesters of the unaltered life, with a total of 18 participants during that time.

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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
