Overview
Mission
Westminster Biblical Mission has been established for the purpose of founding faithful Christian churches in locations that do not currently have them. The organization trains pastors and assists them with materials needed to operate outreach facilities. This includes, but is not limited to, church facilities, educational facilities for children, seminaries, orphanages and medical clinics. Job training and economic development are also undertaken in some locations.
What it reported doing in 2025
Punjab State Pakistan - Operation of the Presbyterian Theological seminary with a capacity of 6 to 8 full time seminarians. Operation of four Calvin Academies (primary and high school levels) with over 2,000 full time students from the neighborhoods in which the Academies are located. Operation of an adult literacy program teaching adults to read using the Holy Bible. There averages more than 20 teachers in the project. The program pays for school facilities and supplies, food for the seminarians, facility maintenance and improvement at the academies and salary and travel expense for the staff. Staff salaries are also paid at the two medical clinics along with the medical supplies used to provide free or subsidized cost treatment of those in the neighborhood. Yearly Christian conferences are held for the general public and a summer camp is provided for members of the local Pakistani churches
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
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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
