Timberline Church

What Timberline Church does

Timberline Church is a non-profit, multi-campus Christian church headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado, with a second campus in Windsor. Founded in 1987, the church serves more than 2,700 attendees weekly across life-stage-tailored programs including TimberKids (infants through 5th grade), middle and high school student ministries, young adult groups (20s & 30s), men's and women's ministries, marriage enrichment, Primetimers (55+), and grandparents' ministry. The church operates small groups, pastoral care services (Divorce Care, Grief Support, Betrayal & Beyond), and local and global missions programs. Underlying technology includes a church management platform (Church Community Builder/CCB) accessible at timberlinechurch.ccbchurch.com, a branded mobile application on iOS and Android (built on Pushpay's infrastructure), live streaming and on-demand sermon content, a Spotify podcast series ('Let Love Live'), and an online giving system via Pushpay with campus-specific donation pages for Fort Collins and Windsor.

The business model is donation-based, relying on voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members, with supplementary revenue from the affiliated 1921 Coffeehouse sub-brand. Services are free and open to the public; select programs (e.g., Financial Peace University) carry nominal fees. The go-to-market motion is community-led, acquiring members primarily through weekend worship services, visitor welcome teams, and community service events, with a multi-channel digital presence (website, mobile app, email newsletter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube) extending reach. The church has no public customers or external investors; it is an independent 501(c)(3) governed by a board and led by Senior Pastor Aaron Hanson, who succeeded Dary Northrup in March 2026 following Northrup's 38-year tenure. The church partners with a network of local non-profits (Salvation Army, Fort Collins Rescue Mission, Alpha Center, SAVA Center, SAINT Volunteer Transportation, Partners Mentoring Youth) for outreach and with Vanderbloemen Search Group for pastoral leadership placement.
