ROOTED |
Everything we do here at KCM is with the goal of rooting those we serve in Christ. It's our mission: To bring people into a closer relationship with Jesus Christ, and help them overcome the crippling effects of sin and guilt.

They shall be like a tree planted by water, sending out its roots by the stream. It shall not fear when heat comes, and its leaves shall stay green; in the year of drought it is not anxious, and it does not cease to bear fruit. -Jeremiah 17:8 |

FINANCIALS |
KCM was blessed to steward God's provision of $318K in revenues for 2018. This represents a 46 percent increase over 2015, and a 43 percent increase over 2016! YoY, KCM's revenues remained steady at just under $320K.

As with previous years, 2018 showed a high percentage of revenue specific to Christian counseling services. This is a strong testimony to the effectiveness of our approach: primarily referral-based, and almost entirely sustained on revenues from services rendered makes KCM almost unparalleled to other non-profits of our kind who typically generate 40-50 percent in revenues from services; with another 25-50 percent from government funding.
While our ministry plan for growth includes an increase in donations, we intend to continue our efforts with monies from private Christian sources. Our intent is to prevent mission creep, an effect that tends to occur with many religious non-profit organizations receiving federal funding; wherein, a gradual shift in objectives moves the organization away from a biblical worldview and more toward a secular one. |
KCM operates on a zero-based budget (ZBB); wherein, all expenditures and allocations must be justified as opposed to budgets increased for the sake of covering increases. ZBB is advantageous because it is more detail-oriented than other forms of budgeting; among other things, it makes it easier to detect and eliminate over-inflated budgets.
The chart to the right shows our 2018 expense percents, a majority of which came from payroll. At KCM, payroll involves payments made to our ministers who function as contractors for the ministry. These payments are based on a set percent paid to the minister per counseling session. |
Since KCM first opened its doors for service our intent has always been to offer affordable rates. Our standard (i.e., non-scale) fee is $120 per session involving Doctorate-level ministers, and $90 per session involving Masters-level ministers. For those with household incomes below $65K we offer sliding scale rates in the $50-$90 range. Almost 70 percent of sessions are conducted below our full rate, and break down as follows:

DEMOGRAPHICS |
One of our Core Values is unity. God created diversity within the human race, and it is His desire that we Christians unify in the Spirit. Unification is not a destination, its a state-of-being.
|
Multiple studies conducted over the years consistently show that women are more likely to obtain professional care to address mental health matters than their male counterparts. One factor believed to be in-play here is that a man must admit he needs help. While receiving counseling a man needs to rely on the counselor, and openly discuss and express emotion. These requirements tend to conflict with traditional "norms" of what it means to be male (i.e., toughness, independence, and emotional control). Furthermore, men may also worry that society might berate them for not being able to "handle it" themselves. We do find evidence of changes within American culture that are slowly opening the door for more men to feel secure with reaching out for professional mental health services.
