St. Andrews Presbyterian Church

What St. Andrews Presbyterian Church does

St. Andrews Presbyterian Church is a non-profit religious organization affiliated with the ECO Presbyterian denomination, founded circa 1950 in Newport Beach, California, with a 75-year continuous presence on a single campus between two schools and two neighborhoods. Its functional core is two Sunday worship services (9:00 a.m. classic, 10:30 a.m. modern) layered with an extensive ministry ecosystem spanning nursery through senior adults, including a Preschool program, the WATCH after-school care program (tiered $50-$130/week), Bible studies (e.g., $25/semester New Life), the St. Andrew's Creative Institute (SACI) arts program ($60/team cooking, $15/lecture tickets), women's and men's retreats, student ministries, and on-site Corner Cafe retail operations.

The technology stack is composed of standard third-party SaaS rather than proprietary systems: Church Center handles event registrations, member forms, logins, and volunteer coordination; sapres.online.church provides live streaming; Zoom supports remote attendance for prayer meetings; Right Now Media serves Bible study content distribution; JotForm processes volunteer and camp applications; and an SMS messaging service (Twilio-class, capped at 5 messages annually per privacy policy) handles reminders and notifications. YouTube hosts the sermon archive and worship music content, with additional distribution through Apple Music and Spotify.

The revenue model mixes voluntary contributions (tithes and offerings, the primary stream via digital giving) with diversified fee-based program revenue: subscription/recurring fees for WATCH, preschool tuition, and Bible studies; one-time registration fees for retreats and the India Mission Experience ($2,000-$2,800) and Baja Mission Experience ($195/person); per-unit ticket pricing for SACI events; and retail revenue from the Corner Cafe. Mission and ministry partnerships span Foundation for His Ministry (FFHM), OC Rescue Mission, Royal Family Kids Camp, Teen Challenge, Biola University, Forest Home, Rancho Capistrano, Hume SoCal, The Send Conference, and NorthEast of the Well.
