The Christian Worship Hour was ordained by God to proclaim the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to the world. The Christian Worship Hour proclaims the Word of God simply and humbly in all its truth and purity, with special concern and compassion for the lost and with hope and encouragement for all believers. The Christian Worship Hour seeks to win the lost to Christ, to minister to the lonely, the elderly, and the shut-ins, and to nurture the saved in their daily walk with the Lord. Our purpose will always be to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ so that all may come to everlasting life through faith in Him, bringing glory to God the Father Almighty. Amen.
The vision of the Christian Worship Hour is to offer a worship service through media broadcast to those who are housebound.

“Pastor Harold E Salem, spokesman for the Christian Worship Hour, attends all CWH board meetings as an ex-officio member but has no voting privileges. The Executive Committee is comprised of Board members Bill Edwards, Kent Cutler and Hank Bowker as authorized by the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee has broad discretionary authority to act on behalf of the governing board on most issues that come before the Christian Worship Hour. The Executive Committee makes recommendations on those issues requiring the vote of the full Board of Directors at the quarterly business meetings.”
“Pastor Harold Salem and Mike Salem - father/son family relationship and CWH rents office space from Mike Salem who is Pastor Salem's son.”
“A draft of the 990 will be reviewed by the accountant and members of the Executive Committee prior to filing. There is currently no formal review process for Form 990 by the governing board.”
“The Board of Directors and its Officers, the Executive Committee and certain management staff as designated by the Board. The Directors, officers and management employees determine whether a conflict of interest exists. The full Board of Directors reviews all conflicts of interest. Any imposed restrictions are at the sole discretion of the full Board of Directors.”
“CWH's top management official (the President of the Board) is an uncompensated volunteer. The CWH President computes a cost of living adjustment each year in December for all employees, which the Executive Committee then recommends for approval by the full Board of Directors during their January meeting.”
“These documents are not made available to the general public except as available through the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability website at ECFA.org.”
“The Organization is organized as a South Dakota nonprofit corporation and has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). The Organization is annually required to file a Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) with the IRS. In addition, the Organization could be subject to income tax on net income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to its exempt purpose. The Organization has determined it is not subject to unrelated business income tax and has not filed an Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return (Form 990T) with the IRS. The Organization believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken affecting its annual filing requirements, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. The Organization would recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and liabilities in income tax expense if such interest and penalties are incurred.”

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | The Organization is organized as a South Dakota nonprofit corporation and has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). The Organization is annually required to file a Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) with the IRS. In addition, the Organization could be subject to income tax on net income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to its exempt purpose. The Organization has determined it is not subject to unrelated business income tax and has not filed an Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return (Form 990T) with the IRS. The Organization believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken affecting its annual filing requirements, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. The Organization would recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and liabilities in income tax expense if such interest and penalties are incurred. |
