Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo St. Michael Church in Calgary channels 96.6% of its spending directly into programs — placing it among the most mission-focused congregations in its peer group. Revenue has more than doubled over five years, though substantial accumulated reserves warrant a closer look at the church's capital plans.
Our Verdict: A well-run congregation with exceptionally high program spending and virtually no overhead. The large reserve balance likely reflects property holdings typical of churches, and the strong revenue growth suggests an engaged and growing community.
