What Citipointe Church does

Citipointe Church is a non-profit Christian organization operated by Christian Outreach Centre (ABN 79 400 419 737), headquartered in Carindale, Queensland, Australia, with 13 campuses across Australia, the United States, New Zealand, and Bulgaria. Founded in 1974 as a 25-person homegroup, it now serves 15,000+ members and operates a diverse ecosystem including Citipointe Christian College (1,700+ students from Prep through Year 12), Citipointe Childcare, Citipointe International College, and Citipointe Creative Academy. Social-impact subsidiaries include Red Frogs and Red Crew USA (youth safety programs), It's Not Ok Projects (anti-trafficking, including the SHE Rescue Home in Cambodia), and Citipointe Community Care (Marketplace retail, food hampers, and Christmas appeals). The organization is led by Global Senior Pastors Mark and Leigh Ramsey.

The organization's core technology stack is a church management and digital engagement platform comprising a custom mobile app (iOS and Android), a Church Online platform (live.citipointechurch.com) with live streaming, on-demand sermon library, and virtual chat, plus Citipointe TV on YouTube and audio distribution via Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Donations are processed through Tithe.ly in Australia and Pushpay in the US and New Zealand, with Mailchimp handling email communications. Physical infrastructure includes a 2,000-seat main auditorium at Carindale, multiple retail marketplace locations, and educational facilities. Citipointe Worship produces original music content distributed globally.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: voluntary tithes and offerings (including the annual Faith Love Hope campaign), educational services fees (Christian College, Childcare, Kindergarten, OSHC, International College), Citipointe Marketplace retail (low-cost food, clothing, household goods), and tax-deductible donations via the Citipointe Foundation. The go-to-market model is community-led, leveraging Lifegroups (small groups), weekend services, and major annual events (SWB Women's Conference, Youth Camp, Faith Love Hope giving campaign, To God Be The Glory worship nights) to drive engagement and generosity. Customer segments span general community, families, youth and young adults, community support recipients, and education students across a multi-vertical, multi-generational member base.
