Antioch Church – Bend, Oregon

What Antioch Church – Bend, Oregon does

Antioch Church is an independent, nonprofit Christian church founded in 2006 in Bend, Oregon, currently operating from a temporary Sunday gathering location at Foundry Church (60 NW Oregon Avenue) while its permanent facility is under construction. Its core offering is a weekly Sunday worship service at 4 PM, featuring prayers, singing, expository preaching, Scripture reading, and communion, with a live-stream option for remote participation. The church serves individuals and families across all life stages through age-segmented ministries: Antioch Kids (infants through 5th grade), Antioch Youth (middle and high school), Community Groups (ongoing small groups), and Formation Groups (seasonal discipleship cohorts). Pastoral care, benevolence support, and counseling referrals supplement the programming, while a community sharing library ("The Commons") extends practical member-to-member support.

Underlying technology is intentionally light: the church runs on the third-party Church Center SaaS platform for online giving, event registration, group management, and calendar functions, and distributes media through YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify. There is no proprietary technology, app, or AI capability. The technology stack is comparable to other mid-sized churches using standard church-management software and poses no differentiated technical surface.

The business model is donation-funded. Antioch receives voluntary tithes and offerings from its congregation via multiple channels (in-service collection, online giving, text-to-give, mail, and stock donations) and commits a fixed 10% of all giving to a Compassion & Justice Fund distributed to local and global causes. Operating giving ran at $474,070 YTD against a $510,000 ask through June 30, 2026, implying annualized operating revenue under $1M. Capital receipts for the PLANTED building campaign are tracked separately. Governance rests with a co-equal elder board of ten members; the church has no parent entity, no subsidiaries, and is not part of a denomination hierarchy. Operating geography is Bend and Central Oregon, with global reach limited to mission partnerships and co-founded initiatives such as The Global Immersion Project.
