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.

Part I, Line 2: The Ministry provides need-based scholarships to students to take the Ministry's counseling courses. Scholarship recipients are selected based on information provided via an electronic and/or essay application which is reviewed by the Ministry's staff. Scholarships are awarded based on a combination of student financial need, academic merit, and other factors and are applied directly to the student's account as a reduction in tuition. The Ministry monitors each recipient student to ensure that he/she remains an active, enrolled student and satisfies the academic and other criteria for maintaining the scholarship. Part III, Tuition Discounts: The Ministry provides need-based and merit-based tuition discounts to students to take the Ministry's counseling courses, and are reported as non-cash assistance on Schedule I. However, tuition discounts do not constitute an amount received by an organization. Thus, pursuant to the Form 990 instructions, tuition discounts and assistance should not be included in an organization's gross receipts (and therefore have not been included in total revenue in Part VIII). For consistency in reporting, the tuition discounts and assistance are also not reported as an expense in Form 990, Part IX. 1 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ed Welch Senior Faculty 143137 0 0 0 0 0 10507 0 20985 0 174629 0 0 0 Alasdair Groves Executive Director 137780 0 0 0 0 0 11475 0 17792 0 167047 0 0 0 Michael R Emlet Senior Faculty 128830 0 0 0 0 0 10636 0 27487 0 166953 0 0 0 Darby Strickland Faculty 118772 0 0 0 0 0 9834 0 23393 0 151999 0 0 0 X 327 76850 FMV X Airline tickets 2 644 Cost 0 0 1 0 Part I, Column (b): The Ministry is reporting the number of items contributed.

A copy of the final Form 990 is also provided to the voting members of the Ministry's governing body prior to its filing with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The Ministry's conflict of interest policy is distributed to each member of the Organization's governing body, its officers, and its key employees on an annual basis.

Any disclosure statements with previously undisclosed conflicts of interest are forwarded to appropriate Organization officials to take appropriate actions as required by the policy. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a The Board of Directors annually reviews and approves the compensation levels of the Executive Director. The deliberations and decisions of the committee are contemporaneously substantiated. The committee utilizes comparability data in its deliberations; updated comparability data is generally obtained every two to three years. The Executive Director is responsible for setting compensation for all other key executives of the Ministry, using similar procedures to those described above. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The Ministry provides, upon request, copies of its Articles of Incorporation, bylaws, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements.
