What Kids Community Bible Study does
Mission
To provide programs and support to local children. We provide community programs that offer children the education that they are loved and that their lives have a special purpose. We teach the children the truths in the Bible and offer support and knowledge on how to live a life following the example of Jesus Christ.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Kids for Christ Program: This is our largest program in which we serve over 6,000 students K-8th grade both in the fall and spring. We provide a free after-school program that teaches them the truths of the Bible and that they are special and loved by God. We provide a non-denominational Bible-based curriculum with crafts music games and a lesson. We also provide a t-shirt and Bible to each student. We have 62 sites in Southern IL KY and FL where our program is offered. This program also runs a free summer camp for 100+ low-income students in Belleville IL to promote Christian values & positive self-image to those most at risk in our local area. The children are set up for school with a backpack supplies dental cleaning screening and services to encourage a healthy & successful school year.

We help offset costs for the students that are unable to receive the full lunch portion due to insufficient funding. We also partner with local churches to provide sack lunches to students that live in low-income areas. These students receive daily lunches throughout the summer delivered to their home area. We also provide much needed support to these families including: backpacks school supplies shoes socks underwear family groceries books educational supplies and much more. This program ensures healthy living for thousands of local children and their families each year.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $11k to $108k (+904%).
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.
100% of KIDS COMMUNITY BIBLE STUDY’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $867 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
