Form 990, Part III, line 2In February 2015, the Board of Trustees of the Camp determined that purchasing the operations of the conference center and resort that was owned by T Bar M, Inc., which is a corporation owned by two Trustees on the Board, was in the best interest of the Camp and the price was fair and reasonable. The purchase included the property that was leased by the Camp from T Bar M, Inc. and the property adjacent to the Camp that includes a 74 room lodge, six private Sunday Haus and conference facilities. This purchase also expanded the operations to include food services, guest lodging services, conference services and property management of villas adjacent to the property. The purchase of the T Bar M operations and assets enables Center for Christian Growth (also known as T Bar M Camps & Retreats) to expand its mission in two key platforms - camps and retreats. The opportunity to positively impact and influence more campers, guests and families on a year-round basis programmatically and through hospitality with our mission - "Love God, Love Others" - is significant. Through T Bar M's camp and retreat ministry our mission is to be used by God to encourage, edify, equip and serve our campers and guests in ways that draw them into a closer relationship with God and with others. The purchase of T Bar M, Inc. and related services includes a team of 36 full-time staff and 35 part-time staff organized across various departments - dining, housekeeping, sales/event coordination, janitorial/maintenance. The retreat services operate year round.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2Trustees Jeff Turpin and Scott Turpin have both a family and business relationship.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 8bCenter for Christian Growth does not have any committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body. Instead authority rests on the governing body itself while advisory committees make recommendations to the governing body.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm. The Director of Operations and CEO review and approve the 990, which is then sent to the Audit Committee for approval. The Board of Trustees is then provided with a complete copy of the 990 before it is filed with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cTrustees and officers are required to annually disclose interests that could give rise to conflict. Monitoring for potential conflicts of interest is performed by Trustees in board meetings, by the CEO/President and officers in day-to-day operations. If a transaction with a potential conflict is identified, the conflict of interest is communicated to the appropriate supervisor(s) and/or Trustee. The person with a potential conflict recuses his/her self from the decision making process. During board meetings, the independent Trustees of the Board vote on whether the proposed transaction is in the best interests of the organization.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Compensation Committee reviews annually the CEO/President's compensation as well as the entire organizational staff's compensation. The Board of Trustees approves the compensation of the CEO/President. The Board of Trustees approves overall organizational compensation as a part of the annual budget. The Board of Trustees utilizes independent compensation information from similar camps, and like-organizations (i.e., churches, schools), on a regular basis as a part of the compensation evaluation process. Deliberations and decisions are documented in the Board/Committee minutes.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public upon request.
Form 990 Part XII, Line 2c:The audit committee and Board of Trustees assume responsibility for the oversight of the audit. This process has not changed since the prior year.
