“We serve 7 locations in the albuquerque area: cornerstone united methodist church (south valley), heights cumberland presbyterian church (northeast heights), st. Stephens united methodist church (northeast heights), east central ministries (international district), st. Matthew's episcopal church (los lunas), sandia presbyterian church (northeast heights), and wayland baptist university (midtown). Through the extraordinary cross-connecting work of our director of community outreach, laurel burnett, we experienced another remarkable year of partnering with our satellite churches and ministries to provide outreach ministry to the communities of each satellite. On october 1, 2014, we began providing services through a ministry partnership with grace midtown church in atlanta. We employ 5 counselors who are providing services out of 3 offices in that location. In december of 2014, we completed the furnishings for the office space for our new ministry partnership with cedarcrest church in acworth, georgia. We expect to begin providing services out of this location in february of 2015 (as soon as we secure clinical supervision for the counselors). For the seventh consecutive year, we generated the highest volume of revenue in our history, though we kept our expenses slightly below our 2013 level. For the fifth consecutive year, we received more donations from the community to support our ministry than in any previous year. In the fall of 2014, we completely renovated our web site (formationcounseling.org) to provide more comprehensive information regarding our services, to provide additional resources for our clients, and to provide additional information for current and potential donors to our ministry. In october of 2014, we received a 25,000 donation to provide affordable christ-centered counseling services to active military, veterans, first responders, and government workers in high-risk situations. In july of 2014, we began completely renovating our practice management system and our record keeping practices through a cloud-based system that significantly increases the overall excellence of our services and allows us to conduct our ministry on a national level. Formation counseling has memorandums of understanding with various local churches and a non-profit organization whereby they have agreed to provide counseling facilities to fcs in exchange for a nominal fee. Management has calculated an estimate of the annual fair market rental cost of those facilities, based on local market rates. The total amount of 'in-kind facilities' of 29,250 has not been included in revenue or expenses based on the form 990 instructions.”
