What Project Steps to Christ Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to give every home in the united states the opportunity to receive the message of salvation as revealed in jesus christ through the distribution of free christian literature. Additionally, we provide an abundance of other free materials available upon request that minister to the spiritual, physical, emotional, and social needs of the family and individuals.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In 2025 our outreach reached individuals in all 50 states, the district of columbia, puerto rico, and the u.s. Virgin islands. We added 7,705 new contacts to our interest database (people who requested our free resources), including 5,004 generated from facebook and instagram ads, 1,411 from our peacefinders.org website, 1,073 from book and mailer reply cards, 602 from prison ministry, and the remainder from referrals, phone inquiries, letters, and other media. In all, requests totaled over 22,000 pieces of literature, bible studies, and dvds, including 4,038 copies of israel & the end of the world, 2,896 of on the edge of time, 2,563 of the path to peace, and 1,428 of the great controversy, and we enrolled 1,931 individuals in bible study courses.

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. 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 2019 to 2020, from $208k to $561k (+170%).
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.
88% of PROJECT STEPS TO CHRIST INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 7 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $96 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.
Against its field
PROJECT STEPS TO CHRIST INC's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 2 as grant income climbed.
