Center City Church

What Center City Church does

Center City Church is an independent, non-profit Christian church founded in 2005 in Greensboro, North Carolina by co-pastors Dan and Sherri Colvin, who relocated from Richmond, Virginia after sensing a call to plant a church downtown. Originally affiliated with the Assembly of God denomination, the church subsequently developed an associative relationship with Bethel Church in Redding, California, adopting that church's theological emphasis on present-day revival, honor culture, healing, and identity in Christ. The organization operates from a single physical campus at 421 W Smith Street, Greensboro, with weekly Sunday worship services beginning at 10:30 a.m., and supports a staff of approximately 23 people across pastoral, administrative, and ministry-coordinator roles.

The church's product surface is a portfolio of in-person ministry programs serving a horizontally diverse local congregation, segmented by life stage: Children's Ministry (Revival Sprouts 0-5, Revival Roots 6-8, Revival Crew 9-11), CC Youth (middle and high school), Young Adults, Women's/Mom's groups, Men's Ministry, and Tribes small groups distributed across five geographic nodes in the greater Greensboro area. Specialized offerings include Healing School (a free monthly equipping program), an Inner Healing ministry using the Restoring the Foundations (RTF) methodology delivered by RTF-trained ministers, Prophetic Ministry, and There Is More Cafe, a Sunday-morning coffee ministry. The most formalized non-worship product is Convergence School of Supernatural Ministry, founded in 2010 as a wholly owned subsidiary program providing multi-year ministry training in the Fivefold Ministry tradition, drawing students from over 30 churches.

The revenue model rests on two streams. The primary stream is voluntary tithes and offerings collected from members and visitors through the Pushpay digital giving platform and traditional Sunday giving, supplemented by in-person donations to the There Is More Cafe coffee ministry. The secondary stream is tuition revenue from Convergence School of Supernatural Ministry, which charges students on a quarterly/yearly subscription basis (specific 2026/2027 amounts listed as 'COMING SOON'), with no scholarships offered and non-refundable terms. Distribution is predominantly physical and local: services, classes, and small groups meet on the Greensboro campus or in member homes within the surrounding MSA, with digital channels (Facebook, Instagram, sermon archive of 138 messages, Pushpay giving page) serving a supplementary acquisition and retention role rather than a primary delivery mechanism. The underlying technology stack consists of commodity third-party services—Clover Sites for website hosting and Pushpay for payment processing—with no proprietary technology, mobile app, or API surface.
