We help students consider how their faith connects to the rest of their lives- their career choices, and their social justice concerns. We offer thoughtful Bible study, spiritual formation, and opportunities to put ones faith into action. To be clear, for us this means LGBTQ+ persons are welcomed and affirmed. We are committed to becoming the inclusive community God intends us to be.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
