Christ Church

What Christ Church does

Christ Church is a non-profit Christian religious organization operating as a multi-site church in the Chicago metropolitan area, with campuses in Oak Brook (501 Oak Brook Road, headquarters) and Butterfield/Lombard (2S361 Glen Park Road). Founded in 1965, the church employs 231 staff and serves an estimated multi-thousand-member congregation across all life stages — from preschool through older adults — with dedicated ministries for families, students (middle and high school), young adults, men, women, people with disabilities, and recovery (Celebrate Recovery). It delivers dual worship expressions (Contemporary and Classic) across four weekly service times, including an online streaming option via website and YouTube.

The organization's product surface combines physical worship experiences with a digital content platform comprising the Deeper Still Podcast, The Greenhouse adult education series (active 2020-2026), the media.christchurch.us on-demand media library, and the Christ Church Connect mobile app for giving and engagement. Adjacent operations include the Christ Church Preschool subsidiary (ccpreschool.us) and the on-campus LIFT Center ministry hub with its Mission Cafe, whose proceeds support global mission partners. Distribution is hybrid: in-person at two regional campuses combined with global self-serve online streaming and on-demand access.

Christ Church's business model is voluntary donations — tithes and offerings from congregation members fund operations, facilities, missions, and community programs. There is no pricing for worship services or ministry participation. The organization is privately governed without external investors, parent company, or public listing, and it does not publicly disclose revenue figures. GTM is community-led: word-of-mouth, social media presence, podcast content, community events, small groups, and volunteer-driven outreach drive member acquisition and retention, with a multi-channel digital presence (website, email/newsletter, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn) supporting top-of-funnel awareness.
