Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (4)
  1. $376,816 spent. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES INCLUDE MANY ITEMS BUT THE MAJORITY OF FUNDS ARE DIRECTED TO CCFS DISCIPLESHIP STRUCTURE LED AND GUIDED BY THE STAFF. THE STAFF SERVES STUDENTS IN VARIOUS WAYS FROM LEADERSHIP TRAINING, PROGRAMMING LOGISTICS, DISCIPLESHIP MEETINGS, TEACHING, AND PASTORAL CARE. THEREFORE, A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF OUR PROGRAM SERVICE EXPENSE ON THIS LINE IS ATTRIBUTED TO STAFFING.
  2. $22,722 spent. MISC STUDENT EVENTS - CCFS STUDENT EVENTS ARE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE. EVENTS OFFERED INCLUDE TRUMAN WEEK EVENTS FOR INCOMING STUDENTS, FALL PARTY, HOUSE FEAST, MENS AND WOMENS RETREAT, RANDOM MENS AND WOMENS EVENTS, 5K RACE, PRAYER MEETINGS, AND THE VALENTINES DAY DINNER.

REDUCTED RATES WERE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE WHO COULD NOT AFFORD THE FEE. THE SPRING BREAK MISSION PROJECT NETS A SURPLUS SOME YEARS WHILE OTHER YEARS IT HAS A DEFICIT DUE TO FUEL PRICES, VEHICLE EXPENSES, AND FOOD COSTS. THE SURPLUS IS USED TO FUND FUTURE MISSION PROJECTS.
  4. $10,614 spent. STAFF DISCIPLESHIP AND MINISTRY - STAFF DISCIPLESHIP AND MINISTRY IS A BROAD CATEGORY THAT ALLOWS EACH STAFF PERSON TO LEAD DISCIPLESHIP GROUPS, FACILITATE COACHING GROUPS WITH OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM (APPROXIMATELY 50 TO 70 STUDENT LEADERS), DO OUTREACH WITH NEW STUDENTS, AND MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH ALUMNI.
