Christway Church

What Christway Church does

Christway Church is a non-denominational Christian church headquartered at 207 Lawlis Road, DeRidder, Louisiana, operating since 2001 under the pastoral leadership of Vic and Kelly Warrick, who have served in leadership since 2001 and as lead pastors since 2014. The church's core offering is weekly in-person worship — Sundays at 10am and Wednesdays at 7pm — delivered from a single campus that also houses nursery and children's ministry facilities. Its stated mission centers on building strong, Christ-centered families as the foundation of a strong church, and its programming is structured to serve congregants across the full life cycle: Nursery (birth to age 3), Children's Church (ages 4-9), CWC Teens (ages 13-18 through high school), Bible study for men and women, fellowship groups, and church-wide volunteer "Serve Areas" organized around the SHAPE spiritual-gifts model.

Beyond core worship, the church runs two affiliated youth character-development programs — American Heritage Girls for girls ages 5-18 and Trail Life Boys for boys K-12 — and two community-outreach ministries: a Housing Authority Outreach Program providing monthly food distribution to low-income housing residents, and a Serving Hands ministry delivering meals to families in need. Online distribution is limited to streaming of services, Bible study, teen ministries, and children's church via the church website, supported by Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram social channels.

Christway Church is a privately held nonprofit religious organization with no disclosed financials, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no commercial customers or contracts. Revenue is derived entirely from voluntary donations collected through Sunday tithes and offerings and through the give.church online giving platform; all services, ministries, Bible studies, and fellowship groups are provided free of charge to attendees. There are no patents, trademarks, regulatory actions, partnerships, or formal alliances referenced, and there is no evidence of technology products, proprietary systems, or AI/ML capability within the organization.
