“Christians for biblical equality (cbe), www.cbeinternational.org, is a 501c3 nonprofit organization comprised of individuals, churches, colleges, seminaries, and organizations, representing more than 100 different denominations around the world. Together cbe advances the biblical foundations for the equal dignity, authority, and leadership of males and females in church, home, and society. Cbe's events, publications, website, bookstore, local chapters, and partnerships educate global communities based on the scriptural teachings that call all christians, male and female, to develop and exercise their god-given gifts for leadership with equal authority and responsibility and with the full support of their faith communities. Research shows that when a culture equally values males and females and extends equal authority and opportunities to males and females, these communities experience lower incidents of female abuse and are more economically viable. Cbe pursues its mission by accomplishing goals in three key result areas (kra) including: 1) educate christians on biblical equality and its significance; 2) promote egalitarian advocacy; 3) maintain an effective, sustainable, and efficient organization; salient accomplishments from each key result area are noted in part iii (990) and below.”

“The organization's audit committee, comprised of the board's executive committee, reviews the financial statements. The audit committee is also responsible for selecting the independent auditor at the october board meeting. This process is outlined in the board manual section 601.1.”
