Home Church

What Home Church does

Home Church is a multi-site Christian church organization headquartered in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, operating seven Canadian campuses (Red Deer, Calgary, Olds/Mountain View, Ponoka, Stettler, Sundre, and Penticton, BC) and over 100 international locations spanning DR Congo, Rwanda, Malawi, Kenya, South Africa, Burundi, Uganda, Ghana, India, Turkey, Ukraine, and Nepal. The church's stated mission is to connect everyone to Jesus and His Church, delivered through weekly worship services, a small group network (HC Groups), a volunteer service program (Dream Team), youth and children's ministries, a 24-Hour Prayer Centre, and community care programs including a bus ministry, school lunch program, and hamper program. Leadership is led by Lead Pastor Jachin Mullen with distributed pastoral couples at each satellite campus.

The organization runs an integrated ministry ecosystem anchored by Home Church Bible College — a three-year theological program operating since 1988 with over 30 instructors and tuition of $4,500 CAD per full year or $2,250 per semester — plus affiliated entities including Home of Hope (international child sponsorship and humanitarian aid), Destiny Christian School (Christian K-12 education), and Success Builders (personal development ministry). The technology backbone is composed of Subsplash for livestreaming (HC Live) and the mobile app, Planning Center for volunteer scheduling, Church Center for registrations and connect cards, and distribution via website, YouTube, Facebook, and Smart TV apps.

The revenue model relies on voluntary tithes and offerings from the distributed congregant base, supplemented by Bible College tuition, planned/legacy giving instruments (wills, life insurance, RRSPs/RRIFs), and donations to Home of Hope sponsorship programs. Growth is driven through a community-led and event-driven go-to-market approach combining word-of-mouth referrals, large-scale events (annual Women's Conference, Kids Camp, Youth Camp), community outreach programs, and digital channels. As a non-profit religious organization, Home Church does not disclose financial figures and has no external institutional ownership or public listing.

Direct peers

• Centre Street Church: Multi-site church headquartered in Calgary, Alberta with multiple campuses across the Calgary region and satellite congregations. Operates in the same Alberta geography as Home Church with a comparable multi-site model and contemporary evangelical style.
• The People's Church: Multi-site Canadian church with campuses in the Greater Toronto Area. Comparable multi-site architecture, contemporary worship, and small-group programming make it a strong operational peer despite geographic differences.
• Hope Community Church: Canadian multi-site church with campuses in the Greater Toronto Area. Comparable in scale and multi-site Canadian operations, though serving a different provincial market.
• Church of the Rock: Multi-site church based in Winnipeg, Manitoba with multiple campuses across the prairies. Comparable in operating philosophy (multi-site, contemporary evangelical) to Home Church and offers a useful Canadian mid-size benchmark.
• Northview Church: Multi-site Canadian church based in Abbotsford, BC with campuses across western Canada. Closely comparable to Home Church in scale, denomination-agnostic evangelical approach, and western Canadian footprint including BC presence (Penticton).

Broad incumbents

• Life.Church: One of the largest multi-site churches in North America with a fully online platform (Church Online Platform) and a strong mobile-app strategy. Relevant as a benchmark for Home Church's HC Live streaming and Subsplash mobile app investments.
• Elevation Church: Multi-site megachurch with multiple locations and a strong online presence. Comparable in using a lead pastor broadcast model and contemporary worship to extend reach across multiple physical sites.
• North Point Community Church: Large multi-site church network founded by Andy Stanley in the Atlanta metro. While US-based and substantially larger, it is the canonical multi-site operating model and serves as the closest blueprint comparator for Home Church's scaling strategy.
• Saddleback Church: Large multi-site church network with campuses across the US and global church-planting partnerships. Relevant as a multi-site operating and church-planting benchmark for Home Church's international expansion model.

Others

• Compassion Canada: Canadian faith-based child sponsorship and humanitarian organization, headquartered near Toronto. While not a church operator, its child sponsorship model (Home of Hope operates a near-identical sponsorship program) makes it a relevant ecosystem peer for benchmark purposes.
