Overview
Mission
We seek to equip people to be healthy disciples of jesus christ. We serve both the faith and non-faith community with love through providing thousands of hours of free mentorship and training alongside practical assistance, when deemed necessary, for the individuals we serve. We have held over 500 life coaching and pastor counseling meetings, weekly group meetings, and biannual classes on growing in spiritual identity. We sponsor ongoing special events and are invited as guest speakers to other local churches and non-profits. We are available to support the community through our network of contacts for jobs, food ad substance abuse help. We want to see the world changed and jesus receive the glory
What it reported doing in 2025
Purpose is the result of understanding god-given identity. Our purpose is to teach, disciple, and train in hope (which brings joy) so that people see the way jesus does.
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.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
