“The Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm, reviewed by the President and CFO, and then provided to the Board of Directors prior to filing.”

“The organization requires its board of directors and officers to disclose any potential conflicts of interest biannually at meetings of the board. The executive members of the board are responsible for monitoring the policy on a regular and consistent basis. Should a conflict of interest exist, interested parties are required to recuse themselves from the decision making process and subsequent vote.”

“The process for determining the compensation of the organization's top management officials and other officers involves comparative salary surveys, and is contingent on budget considerations. An independent compensation consultant is engaged for further input, and Form 990s from similar organizations are analyzed. Recommendations are made by the HR committee and compensation packages are approved by a compensation committee, consisting of independent members of the board of directors. Documentation of deliberations and decisions made are kept in the minutes. This process and documentation is performed by an affiliated organization serving as a common paymaster.”

“The public inspection copy of the organization's Form 990 and 1023 are available to the public at the organization's main office during normal business hours.”

“KSBJ Special Events doesn't just create events, they create opportunities to bring believers together to pour into them spiritually, to inspire them to pursue a deeper relationship with God and to be the hands and feet of Christ in their community. Nothing unifies the body of Christ quite like a concert. A sea of believers joined together in worship with hands lifted high and voices echoing the praises of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is powerful and life changing. The impact of the ministry of KSBJ Special Events (Special Events) resonates across cultural, denominational, race, age, gender, political, social, and economic boundaries. The Christ centered events that Special Events produces truly are church without walls experiences that connect people to God. Each event that Special Events produces is very intentional in making the ministry and the message of the Gospel the primary focus. While the delivery of the Gospel may be a little different at an event for teens than at a men's or women's event than at a more traditional worship style concert, the heart of the message stays true. And at every event, the Gospel is presented and a time for response is given with an army of prayer volunteers ready to pray with people who want to commit their lives to Christ. The prayer volunteers are also available throughout the events to pray with people. There are many stories of lives impacted at our events. One the highlights from the year was at the Beautiful Offerings Tour with Big Daddy Weave, Chris August, Group 1 Crew and Dara Maclean. By the end of the evening, the crowd was ready to let lose in abandoned adoration of their Savior, as all of the artists shared the stage singing old familiar songs like "Give Me Jesus and "Indescribable". It was evident that this night was not about focusing on the artists or the flashing lights, but entirely about worshipping our God. At the end of the evening, tour pastor, and road manager, Brad Fogerty, spoke of God's infinite ability to heal and restore. Presenting the Gospel, he said "the same God that spoke the universe into existence and raised the dead can handle your problems too. He deserves your trust". As our prayer volunteers and artists alike came down from the stage and surrounded the worship center, Brad continued, "you can leave the baggage of bitterness and pain behind, and find forgiveness in God, and forgiveness from yourself as well." The audience was then dismissed with the choice to leave or continue in worship with a time of prayer. The artists and prayer volunteers remained in the arena as the music faded and the crowds cleared until every soul that was willing and in need of prayer had been heard. This was a night unlike any other. The presence of God was so tangible in this place, and for many, this was a life changing event. Special Events' concerts are an ideal platform for partnering with and raising awareness for local nonprofit organizations. The KSBJ Ministry Spotlight highlights a local ministry that matches the heart of the artist. This is a great connection opportunity providing a forum for attendees to gather information and to get involved in serving and supporting local ministries. In the last fiscal year, Special Events produced 30 Christ centered events, including 11 free events, uniting over 90,000 people for worship and to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our prayer volunteers prayed with approximately 2,030 people and 15 of them committed their lives to Jesus. KSBJ Special Events relies on the support of volunteers to accomplish its mission. Special Events had over 1,200 dedicated volunteers who served over 7,980 hours, filling crucial roles including back stage loading equipment in/out, praying with people, working as stage hands, etc. You can find information about attending or volunteering at a KSBJ Special Events concert at www.ksbj.org/special_events.
