What Westminster Biblical Missions does
Mission
Westminster Biblical Mission has been established for the purpose of founding faithful Christian churches in locations that do not currently have them. The organization trains pastors and assists them with materials needed to operate outreach facilities. This includes, but is not limited to, church facilities, educational facilities for children, seminaries, orphanages and medical clinics. Job training and economic development are also undertaken in some locations.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Ministry to Spanish Speaking Peoples. A missionary has been added to the organization that travels and teaches in the Spanish speaking regions of the world. In addition translation of materials into the Spanish language is being undertaken.

Operation of four Calvin Academies (primary and high school levels) with over 2,000 full time students from the neighborhoods in which the Academies are located. Operation of an adult literacy program teaching adults to read using the Holy Bible. There averages more than 20 teachers in the project.

Staff salaries are also paid at the two medical clinics along with the medical supplies used to provide free or subsidized cost treatment of those in the neighborhood. Yearly Christian conferences are held for the general public and a summer camp is provided for members of the local Pakistani churches

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $261k to $167k (−36%).
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. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $5k → $21k.
5 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 99% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of WESTMINSTER BIBLICAL MISSIONS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
WESTMINSTER BIBLICAL MISSIONS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 49% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
99% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund WESTMINSTER BIBLICAL MISSIONS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 79% · 2021 90% · 2022 98% · 2023 67% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
Where its funders are
99% of WESTMINSTER BIBLICAL MISSIONS's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $1k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside California, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $153k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states 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.
