Center Grove Church

What Center Grove Church does

Center Grove Church is a non-denominational evangelical Christian church headquartered at 8750 Lasater Road in Clemmons, North Carolina, operating as a nonprofit religious organization with 11 staff. The church conducts two Sunday worship services at 9:00am and 10:45am and serves a congregation organized into five primary ministry segments: CGKids (children's ministry), CGStudents (grades 6-12), The Grove (young adults aged 18-29), Adults (Life Groups, Bible study, marriage and parenting resources), and Missions/Outreach (local and international mission work). Pastoral leadership includes Lead Pastor Eric Waldrop and an additional team of pastors and speakers. New visitor integration is managed through a structured 'Next Steps' pathway including Starting Point orientation, Serve opportunities, and Baptism.

The church operates a multi-channel digital platform built on standard third-party ministry technology infrastructure. Core technology components include the 'Center Grove on the Go' mobile application powered by Subsplash (iOS/Android) for live and on-demand sermon access, event viewing, and spiritual growth resources; the onRealm online giving platform for digital tithes and offerings; a dedicated online church streaming site at centergrovechurch.online.church; a YouTube channel hosting full worship services and teaching series; and a website (centergrovelife.org) serving as the primary content hub. Branded sub-brands include CGKids, CGStudents, The Grove, and Trellis & Vine (an on-campus Christian bookstore). The church also partners with the North American Mission Board (NAMB), adopting its 3 Circles evangelism methodology and Life on Mission framework.

The revenue model is straightforward nonprofit giving: voluntary tithes and offerings collected from congregation members through in-person services, the onRealm online portal, and the mobile app, with no commercial products or pricing tiers. Distribution is omnichannel, combining in-person worship, mobile app, online streaming, social media (Facebook, Instagram), email newsletter (via Typeform), and the physical Trellis & Vine bookstore. Geographic scope is domestic (Southeast US) with global reach limited to digital streaming and international mission trips. Revenue figures, attendance counts, and financial statements are not publicly disclosed.
