Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

The Ministry exists to restore Christ to counseling and counseling to the church by thinking biblically about the issues of living. The Ministry does this through teaching, speaking, counseling, and writing.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Restoring Christ to counseling and counseling to the church

  • Counseling and Educational Services: The Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (the Ministry) is committed to restoring Christ to counseling and counseling to the church. The Ministry believes that God sees, cares, and speaks into all of life, and the church is the place for biblical counseling. Because of this truth, the Ministry seeks to connect the treasures of Scripture to the troubles of life and equip God's people to walk with one another in wise, hopeful, biblical care. They seek to accomplish this mission through the online School of Biblical Counseling, the annual CCEF National Conference, speaking events, counseling, and various resources, including blogs, podcasts, videos, books, and more. To learn more or explore the Ministry's resources, visit ccef.org.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
