Peace Church

What Peace Church does

Peace Church is an independent, Gospel-centered nonprofit church headquartered in Middleville, Michigan, operating a multi-campus model spanning Barry County and surrounding areas. Founded in 1965, the church runs a Central Campus in Middleville, a Wayland Campus planted in Fall 2023, and is preparing to launch a Hastings Campus. Its core "product" is spiritual formation delivered through three Sunday service times (8, 9:30, and 11 AM) at the Central Campus, online livestreaming, and a comprehensive age-segmented ministry portfolio covering nursery through senior adults — including children's ministry, youth programs (Middle School, High School, Bold Boys, Brave Girls, Bold and Brave), Women's, Men's, Marriage, Special Needs (Peace Kids Special Needs and Friends at Peace), Young Adults, 55+, Community Groups, and Meal Ministry.

The church's underlying technology stack is composed entirely of third-party SaaS tools rather than proprietary platforms: Church Center for event registration and management, Pushpay for online giving and tithes, Buzzsprout for podcast distribution (Peace Church Sermon Podcast, That's A Good Question, Young Adults Bible study), Mailchimp for newsletters, and Wix as the website platform. No proprietary technology, APIs, SDKs, or AI capabilities are developed in-house. Content distribution includes the 'Round the Table gospel-centered publishing platform and sermon discussion resources supporting the "Becoming" 2026 spiritual journey campaign.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through congregational tithes and offerings processed via Pushpay and in-service collections, supplemented by tiered event sponsorships (Platinum $2,000+, Gold $1,250–2,000, Silver $500–1,000, Bronze $250–500) and exhibitor booth fees ($100) at annual conferences (Marriage, Women's, Young Adult). Facilitated donations to global mission partners (8+ organizations across 22+ nations) function as a pass-through revenue stream. Peace Church is not venture-backed, has no parent company, and is governed independently by its pastoral staff.
