Lakeport Christian Center

What Lakeport Christian Center does

Lakeport Christian Center is a private, non-profit religious organization founded in 1960 and headquartered at 455 S. Forbes Street in Lakeport, California. It operates as a multi-generational Christian church serving the local Lakeport community with a portfolio of ministry programs including Sunday worship services (Sunday School, Hour of Power, and Worship Service with Kid's Church), Wednesday Bible Study, Kids for Christ (KFC), a Youth Group, and the FLEX (Family Lake Educational eXcellence) homeschool support group. Beyond traditional worship, the church runs a state-licensed preschool and daycare program (License #:173000812) for ages 2–5 at a separate 175 "C" Street facility under director Mary Paarsch, and a Shapes Facility offering fitness classes such as Ola Kino for Life and Core Strengthening.

The organization is led by Senior Pastors Rev. Burton and Rev. Dr. Cindy Jernigan, who were unanimously elected on June 9, 2024 after previously serving as Associate Pastors. Day-to-day operations are supported by a broader volunteer and staff leadership team covering worship/music, youth, custodial, security (led by Sergeant Erich), audio/visual media, Bible teaching, ushering, prayer, and a counting team. The church maintains an active global missions program supporting approximately 20 missionary families and ministries worldwide through monthly financial contributions and prayer.

The business model is donation-driven, with voluntary tithes and offerings — including online giving via the church website — forming the primary revenue base, supplemented by tuition from the licensed preschool/daycare program (rates not publicly disclosed). The church has 11–50 employees, a single-country operating geography limited to California, and no proprietary technology platform. Outreach is conducted through Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, a website sermon video archive, and in-person gatherings at its two Lakeport locations.

Direct peers

• McLean Bible Church: Single-region multi-program church with children's ministry, youth groups, global missions partnerships, and online worship content. Closely comparable to Lakeport Christian Center as a single-community church operating the same portfolio of ministries at a modestly larger scale.
• Christ Fellowship Church: Multi-generational regional church with kids, students, missions, and digital content programs. Comparable as a direct peer operating a similar mix of age-tiered ministries and missions partnerships within a defined geographic area.

Others

• Kindercare Learning Centers: Large multi-site licensed daycare and preschool operator. Comparable as a same-industry benchmark for the licensed preschool/daycare program Lakeport Christian Center operates, particularly relevant for tuition pricing and licensing standards.
• Daystar Television Network: Religious broadcasting network distributing worship and faith-based family programming via digital and broadcast channels. Comparable as a thematic peer for the sermon video archive and YouTube presence Lakeport Christian Center maintains, illustrating the scaled version of Lakeport's content strategy.
• Bright Horizons Family Solutions: Nation's largest licensed early childhood education provider, including faith-affiliated partner centers. Comparable on the preschool/daycare dimension of Lakeport Christian Center's operations (License #:173000812), providing a benchmark for tuition-based early-childhood revenue.

Broad incumbents

• Saddleback Church: Multi-program megachurch offering worship, children's ministry, youth, small groups, global missions, and adult education. Comparable as a broad incumbent that demonstrates the multi-generational church programming model that Lakeport Christian Center follows at a much smaller scale.
• North Point Community Church: Large multi-program church known for its children's ministry programming, adult services, and digital content strategy. Relevant as an incumbent example of how sermon archives and digital giving can scale a multi-program ministry.
• Church of the Highlands: Large multi-campus church with comprehensive children's, student, and adult programs plus online giving and sermon content. Comparable as an incumbent operating the same multi-generational, donation-and-tuition-supported ministry model.
• Elevation Church: Multi-site church with strong youth and children's programming, online sermon content, and digital giving. Comparable as an incumbent that scaled from a local multi-program church into a digital-first ministry — a trajectory Lakeport Christian Center could pursue at a smaller scale.
• Watermark Church: Multi-program church with strong community and family-focused ministries including recovery, kids, and student programs. Comparable as a broad incumbent operating the same cradle-to-adult ministry model that Lakeport Christian Center delivers locally.
