Chestnut Mountain Ranch Accredited by National Financial Accountability Organization
MORGANTOWN, WV – The Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) announced today the accreditation of Chestnut Mountain Ranch of Morgantown, WV.
ECFA accreditation is based on the ECFA Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship™, including financial accountability, transparency, sound board governance and ethical fundraising.
Chestnut Mountain Ranch joins a growing number of Christ-centered churches and ministries across America, supported by over 35 million donors that have earned the right to display the ECFA seal. When an organization is accredited by ECFA, it demonstrates its willingness to follow the model of biblical accountability.
“We are pleased to include in our membership a ministry committed to pursuing family restoration and reunification,” said Dan Busby, president of ECFA.
Founded in 2005, Chestnut Mountain Ranch (www.chestnutmountainranch.org) provides a Christ-centered school and home for boys in crisis and in need of hope and healing. Partnering with their families, Chestnut Mountain Ranch pursues family restoration and reunification. Their educational program is geared to help children develop spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially.
