Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Organization seeks to introduce golfers to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to promote personal and community growth in Christian living.

  • The organization promotes the development of Christian fellowships in and around golf courses and country clubs, encouraging golfers to grow in their relationships with God and one another, as well as to reach out in their local communities through benevolent giving and service. Activities toward this end include: weekly or monthly gatherings for Bible study, regular or occasional golf events, retreats, and service activities in prisons, halfway houses, shelters, etc. Regionally based staff members are employed to generate and facilitate these activities alongside local lay volunteers. Also, to support the locally established fellowships, the organization produces an annual magazine, a daily devotional (electronically delivered), and printed Bible studies geared for golfers. Additionally, the organization provides the program for occasional larger outreach events featuring golf professionals, allowing regional fellowships to make new contacts in their area.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
