Resurrection Lutheran Church

What Resurrection Lutheran Church does

Resurrection Lutheran Church is a religious nonprofit organization affiliated with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), founded in 1971 and headquartered at 1612 Meadow Edge Lane in Spring, Texas. It operates as a Christ-centered, authentic, relational, equipping, and serving (CARES) community offering Sunday worship services in both traditional (8:15 am) and contemporary (11 am) formats, with online livestream access. The church serves the broader Houston metro area including Spring, Rayford, Imperial Oaks, Woodlands, Klein, Oakridge, and Benders Landing.

The organization's product portfolio spans worship and discipleship programming, demographic-specific ministries (Women, Men, Young Adults, Kids & Students), music and arts education, early childhood education, and mission work. Core products include the Traditional and Contemporary Worship Services, Discipleship Hour (Sunday school for all ages), age-graded youth programs (Club 345, First Communion, Confirmation, Middle/High School Youth Nights), and a Prayer Request system. Adjacent operating subsidiaries include the Resurrection Early Learning Center (infant through Pre-K plus Microschool for ages 5+) and the School of Performing Arts (private lessons in piano, organ, violin, guitar, drums, voice, and digital art). A Date Night childcare service operates monthly at $7 per child. The Harvest Partnership initiative supports church planting across the Houston metro (Lazarus, The Dwelling, Project 242, Ignite, Gospelers).

The business model combines donations and tithes (primary funding) with earned revenue from tuition-based programs. Digital giving is processed through Shelby Giving; ELC and School of Performing Arts payments are handled via the same platform plus Squarespace-based e-commerce. Technology infrastructure is composed of integrated third-party SaaS tools — Shelby Next ChMS for management, RightNow Media for video Bible studies, Constant Contact for newsletters, Google Meet for virtual Bible studies, Adobe Sign for facility requests, and a dedicated livestream subdomain. The church maintains partnerships with multiple denominational and community organizations, including the LCMS, Harvest Partnership network, India Transformed, Joni and Friends, Mission of Christ Network, and local ministries such as Northwest Assistance Ministries and Pregnancy Assistance Center North.

• Primrose Schools: National franchised early childhood education provider. Relevant peer to Resurrection Early Learning Center and Microschool for benchmarking tuition-driven preschool economics, enrollment scale, and operating model in the same childcare category.
• St. Luke's United Methodist Church (Houston): Large Methodist congregation in Houston offering traditional and contemporary services, preschool/childcare, performing arts, and global missions. Comparable to Resurrection on multi-service programming, ELC-style preschool operations, and music/performing arts offerings.
