What Bethel Baptist Christian Education Trust does
Mission
The trust endeavors to financially support christian education in general and upper bucks christian school specifically. As an affiliate of bethel baptist church of sellersville, pa, we recognize that the teachings from god's word as presented in the holy bible have been excluded from the public school system to such an extent that a separate, independent, and fundamental christian school needed to be created and maintained for the purpose of educating the youth. Through wise investment of the christian education trust wealth we endeavor to build a sound financial foundation for the christian education of today's students and the generations that follow. This we do for the glorification of our lord jesus christ.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $701k to $782k (+12%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
