Overview

  • Revenue rose from $243,000 in 2019 to $5 million in 2020, which was the final year the organization filed a Form 990.
  • Property records show nearly $7 million in ministry purchases since 2020 and about $4.5 million in personal holdings by Feucht and his wife.
  • The portfolio includes parsonages in Washington, D.C., and San Juan Capistrano, California, large tracts in Texas and Montana, and multiple Pennsylvania rentals.
  • MinistryWatch issued an F grade for transparency and accountability and urged donors to withhold giving.
  • Former associates allege blurred lines between personal and ministry expenses and say staff and volunteers were overworked without fair pay, claims Feucht denies in a June video while asserting good standing with the IRS and accountants.
