BattleCreek Church

What BattleCreek Church does

BattleCreek Church is a non-profit, multi-campus, multi-generational church headquartered in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, operating across the Greater Tulsa metropolitan area. Founded in 2003 and led by Senior Pastor Alex Himaya, the church runs five physical campuses (Broken Arrow, Jenks, Midtown, Owasso, and South Tulsa) and serves congregants across every life stage through segmented ministries: Kids (Birth-5th Grade), Students (6th-12th Grade), Young Adults/BCYA (18-30), Haven Special Needs (all ages), Thrive Senior Adults (60+), Community Groups, Celebrate Recovery, Care & Counseling, and an internship program. Its mission is articulated as 'Helping all people, all ages, all the time, advance in their journey with Christ.'

The church's core technology stack is built on third-party SaaS platforms rather than proprietary systems. Digital engagement is anchored by an iOS/Android mobile application (built on the Apollos platform) offering daily prayer, scripture meditation, topic studies, and curated staff content, complemented by an online streaming/watch experience and the 'My BattleCreek' member portal. Giving infrastructure runs on Pushpay with text-to-give via Twilio, recurring gifts, stock donations facilitated by a Morgan Stanley advisor, and cryptocurrency donations. Supporting integrations include Formstack (registration/intake), RightNow Media (video library), and Ramsey+ (financial content). Camp programming uses the WinShape Camps curriculum for Kids and Student camps.

Revenue is generated primarily through tithes and offerings collected at worship services and digitally via Pushpay (a recurring-gift model), supplemented by paid program fees: Kids Camp ($275), Student Camp ($499), Camp Empower therapeutic day camp ($150), and the TUL WKND student conference ($45-$65). The go-to-market motion is community-led, relying on five physical campuses, the mobile app, online streaming, community groups, and local/global outreach partnerships (including CarePortal, Broken Arrow Neighbors, John 3:16 Mission, Convoy of Hope, tC Egypt, and Mission to El Salvador) to attract and retain congregants. As a 501(c)-style religious non-profit, BattleCreek Church does not publicly disclose its revenue or attendance figures.
