Parkway Fellowship

What Parkway Fellowship does

Parkway Fellowship is a non-profit, multi-site evangelical church organized around a Purpose-Driven model and serving the Katy, Richmond, Rosenberg, Fulshear, and surrounding communities in the Greater Houston MSA. Founded in September 2002 by Senior Pastor Mike McGown and his wife Amy with 16 founding families, the church operates two physical campuses: the Westpark Location in Richmond, TX (established 2010) and the Morton Location in Katy, TX (grand-opened January 2025 as a 28,000-square-foot facility on 14.5 acres), each offering three Sunday services with Spanish translation at Westpark. The organization runs a portfolio of age-segmented ministries (Kids, Youth, Young Adults, Adults), a Worship Collective, Care Ministry, Small Groups, a Church Residency Program for leadership development, Baptism services, the Scroggins Chapel event venue, and the recurring Second Saturday Food Fair community service event. No external parent company, denominational affiliation, or institutional investor ownership is disclosed; the church is governed by an independent pastoral leadership team headed by Senior Pastor Mike McGown and Executive Pastor Pam Magee.

The underlying technology stack is modest and operational: a church management platform (Rock RMS, evidenced by rock.parkwayfellowship.org workflow entries and prayer wall), website-based livestreaming via parkwayfellowship.com/live, standard social media distribution (Facebook, Instagram), and no disclosed mobile app, API surface, or proprietary AI capabilities. The revenue model is voluntary tithes and offerings collected through in-person services and online giving, treated as recurring donation income rather than commercial pricing; no pricing or revenue figures are publicly disclosed. Distribution is multi-channel: in-person worship at two campuses, online livestream, geographically dispersed small groups, and community outreach events. The customer base is the congregation itself, segmented horizontally by life stage, with no third-party enterprise or institutional customers.
