The Heights Church

What The Heights Church does

The Heights Church is a private, nonprofit religious organization headquartered at 201 W Renner Rd, Richardson, Texas. It operates as a community-focused church serving families across all life stages, with two Sunday worship services (9:30 AM Classic Worship in the Chapel and 11:00 AM Contemporary Worship in the Worship Center) plus a Spanish-language service (Heights En Español). The church runs age-segmented ministries for Preschool, Kids, Students, Young Adults, Men, Women, and Senior Adults, alongside programs for faith seekers (Alpha), discipleship (Life Groups), and care (counseling referrals, prayer support). It also operates a Child Development Center and hosts high-attendance annual events such as Vacation Bible School (over 1,000 children annually) and the Breakthrough conference.

The church's technology stack is built on third-party platforms rather than proprietary products. Planning Center is the core church management system handling communications, volunteer coordination, event registration, and online giving through the Church Center App (iOS and Android). Members access RightNow Media's library of over 3,500 Bible study videos. Content distribution runs through YouTube (livestream and archives), Facebook, Instagram, and an SMS keyword system (45859) that delivers the weekly Heights Connect digital bulletin. Vimeo and Spotify are used for ancillary content (sermon series, VBS music). No AI/ML capabilities are present.

Revenue is generated primarily through voluntary tithes and offerings from members, with 10% of all tithes allocated to global missions. Supplemental income comes from facility rentals to non-profit organizations (starting at $100, no weekend availability) and wedding packages in the chapel that bundle facility use, sound/lighting, inventory, coordinator, and minister services. All regular services, ministries, and Life Groups are provided free of charge. The church maintains Flagship global mission partnerships in six countries: Uganda, Honduras, Guatemala, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, and South Asia, deploying short-term teams of approximately eight members annually alongside ongoing financial support. The Heights has not publicly disclosed revenue figures, and ownership rests with church governance rather than external equity holders.
