Crown of Life Lutheran Church

What Crown of Life Lutheran Church does

Crown of Life Lutheran Church & School is a Christ-centered religious nonprofit organization headquartered at 6605 Pleasant Run Road, Colleyville, Texas, operating as an integrated ministry combining congregational worship with PK-8 Christian education. The church conducts two Sunday worship services (Traditional at 8:15 am and Contemporary at 10:45 am) bracketed by Bible study and Sunday School at 9:30 am, and supplements in-person ministry with digital distribution through YouTube live streaming, Spotify, Anchor, and Facebook podcasts, including the Mornings with Martin weekly podcast. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Crown of Life Lutheran School, delivers PK-8 academic education grounded in Lutheran doctrine, creating a multi-generational family retention mechanism.

The organization's technology stack is composed of standard third-party SaaS tools rather than proprietary systems: Vanco for online and text-to-give donations, RightNow Media for digital Bible study libraries, Typeform for visitor Connect Cards, and YouTube/Spotify/Anchor/Facebook for content distribution. The organization maintains an extensive ministry portfolio including Small Groups segmented by life stage (Young Families, Moms, Men, Empty Nesters, Retirees, Young Adults, Japanese Language Group), Stephen Ministry for one-on-one pastoral care, The Grove / Foundation 310 youth ministry for 5th-12th graders, and member assistance programs (Help Fund, Funeral Fund, medical equipment lending).

Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary tithes and offerings from the congregation, supplemented by school tuition from Crown of Life Lutheran School. The organization practices a transparent tithing model, designating 10% of all church income to support missionaries and Christ-centered ministries. Governance rests with pastoral leadership headed by Pastor Martin Richardson and a leadership/staff team including additional pastors and a Director of Christian Education, with no disclosed parent company, external ownership, or institutional investment.
