Program Service Accomplishments

Program 1

Expenses: $1,959,153

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.
