Christ Culture Church

What Christ Culture Church does

Christ Culture Church is a non-profit Christian congregation founded in 2021 by Lead Pastors Klen and Audrey Kuruvilla and headquartered at 15 Severance Circle, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. The church operates two Sunday worship services (9:30 AM and 11:30 AM), a weekly Thursday House of Prayer gathering (6:45 PM-8:15 PM), and serves a congregation that grew from approximately 64 attendees in 2020-2021 to hundreds by 2026 across the Greater Cleveland and Cuyahoga County area. Its core products are ministry programs rather than software: Sunday worship with live music, biblical teaching, and weekly communion; Culture Kids (children ages 3 months through 5th grade); Culture YTH (grades 6-12); semester-based GROW Groups small-group discipleship; and the Legacy Builders major-giving and missions program with four focus lanes (Church Projects, Next Generation, Local Missions, Global Outreach).

The underlying technology stack is composed entirely of third-party, off-the-shelf faith-ministry tools. The website is built on SnapPages; the Christ Culture Cleveland mobile app is powered by TextInChurch and Church Center (used for connection cards, prayer requests, and event information); online giving runs on Subsplash with support for ACH, card, stock, and crypto donations; email outreach uses Mailchimp; and sermon content is distributed via YouTube livestream, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify. There are no proprietary software products, patents, or AI/ML capabilities disclosed.

The business model is a voluntary giving-funded non-profit. There is no price list or paid product; the church encourages tithing at the biblical baseline of 10% of income but participation and amount are voluntary. Revenue streams consist of recurring tithes and offerings (collected online via Subsplash, in-service, or by mail) and major-gift contributions through the Legacy Builders program, supplemented by gifts supporting local missions (e.g., REBUILD:216 Initiatives) and global outreach. Customer acquisition is community-led and event-driven: Sunday services, midweek prayer, small groups, kids/youth programming, and seasonal sermon series and holidays (Easter, Christmas) drive both attendance growth and donor pipeline. Christ Culture Church is privately held, has no parent company, no institutional investors, and no disclosed funding rounds.
