Overview

Mission

Creating Christ-centered environment away from home experiences to shape and change lives in a positive manner.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025 our ministry hosted over 700 individuals on the property with more than 125 nights booked. These stays provided meaningful opportunities for God to impact and transform lives. We served a diverse group of guests including pastors families youth church staff couples and individuals. Facility improvements completed during the year included upgrades to our laundry facility and several landscaping projects. Our monthly womens gathering for local women continued to grow stronger and remained well attended. We also observed a 25% return rate among guests who stayed with us. Overall 2025 was our busiest year to date.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 79% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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

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