Overview

Mission

Wonderful Works is an online disability ministry resource center designed especially for churches. We provide user-friendly educational videos and resources on many different aspects of disability ministry. We offer free video consulting to churches who need one-on-one help. We provide church classroom tools that enable students who have intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to have better communication. We also make adapted children's Bible stories and lessons to help spread the gospel to kids who have IDD in a way that connects with their unique learning styles.

What it reported doing in 2025

Leader Support - Wonderful Works has completed 50 sessions of one-on-one zoom meetings with ministry leaders who are seeking mentorship in their efforts to serve families affected by disability. Wonderful Works has also completed 18 national talks, including webinars and national conferences. Wonderful Works continues providing disability ministry support to leaders throughout the nation and beyond through our leader Facebook Group. Currently, we support over 1,500 members and growing in the Facebook Group. The objective of supporting leaders is to help them grow deeper in their understanding and ability to teach disability ministry support to their teams.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 92% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
