Cypress Creek Church

What Cypress Creek Church does

Cypress Creek Church is a non-profit, independent Christian church founded in 1993 and headquartered in Wimberley, Texas, with a single worship campus at 211 Stillwater Rd. It operates Sunday worship services at 8:30am, 10am, and 11:30am, and an extensive network of 25+ Community Groups meeting across Wimberley, San Marcos, Kyle, Fischer/Canyon Lake, and online. The congregation is served by a comprehensive suite of age-segmented ministries: Kids (birth through 5th grade), Students (6th-12th grade), Crosstalk College Ministry (anchored at Texas State University), Men's, Women's, Marriage, Prayer (including a 24/7 prayer space called The Gap), and Worship ministries. Jose Abaroa has served as Lead Pastor since January 12, 2020, with founding pastor Rob Campbell continuing in a founding role; the church is governed by a board of Overseers and operates as Cypress Creek Church Inc., a Texas-incorporated nonprofit.

The organization's revenue model is donation-driven, with primary streams from tithes and offerings (one-time and recurring via PushPay), supplemented by a two-year capital campaign (The Oaks Project, December 2023-December 2025) that funded a new multipurpose building, parking lot, and community park. Diversified giving channels include online giving (PushPay), stock donations (Overflow), cryptocurrency (Engiven), and Donor-Advised Funds. A secondary revenue stream comes from Remembrance Gardens, a one-acre on-campus cemetery selling traditional burial plots ($1,802.50-$2,317.50), veteran plots ($1,802.50), and cremains sites ($875.50) via PayPal. The church operates without disclosed revenue figures, traditional funding rounds, or external ownership.

The technology stack is built entirely on third-party SaaS platforms rather than proprietary infrastructure: PushPay for payment processing, Church Center (Planning Center) for event registration and group signups, Overflow and Engiven for non-cash donations, YouTube for live streaming and media archive, and Apple Podcasts/Spotify for podcast distribution. Global mission partnerships span 15 countries (Zimbabwe, Uganda, Kenya, Serbia, India, Myanmar, Mexico), with additional local outreach through 9+ community partners in the Wimberley region. The church recently completed The Oaks Project facility expansion in August 2025, expanding its physical capacity for ministry programming.
