Organizational Accountability

We have a responsibility to be faithful stewards and to maintain integrity and openness in our financial practices. Therefore, we are committed to fulfilling sound, Biblical standards. Through all our activities we endeavor to present the needs to God’s people, then trust the Holy Spirit to touch the hearts of those whom He wants to participate in meeting those needs. The Lord supplies us with the resources for ministry through individual contributions. We recognize our accountability both to Him and to you, our donors. Therefore, we are committed to fulfilling the following standards:

1. We subscribe to a written statement of faith clearly defining our commitment to the evangelical Christian doctrine.
2. We have a commitment to openness and honesty. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and copies are available for review here. We have submitted to review by Guidestar (the leading organization for the review of nonprofits) and earned the GuideStar a Gold Level Exchange Seal (less than 1% of nonprofits have recieved this seal), demonstrating our commitment to transparency.
3. We are governed by a responsible Board of Directors. Our Board meets regularly to establish policies, approve budgets, and review operational results and ministry accomplishments. More info: Organizational Bylaws
