What Clear Creek Church does

Clear Creek Church of Christ is an independent nonprofit religious organization operating a Churches of Christ congregation from its main campus at 5612 Hixson Pike in Hixson, Tennessee (a suburb of Chattanooga). The church operates under the Restoration Movement tradition and offers a dual worship format — 9:00am acapella and 11:15am instrumental services on Sundays — alongside 10:15am Bible classes for all ages, demographic-specific ministries (Children's KIDS, Youth for 6th-12th grade, College, Men's and Women's groups), year-round neighborhood-based small groups, and the four-step Growth Track discipleship program. Its stated mission is "To reach the next person for Jesus" with the purpose of "Disciples who make disciples," supported by a 20-year vision to reach 10% of Chattanooga's unchurched population.

The church's product portfolio spans both physical and digital channels. Core physical offerings include Sunday worship, baptism services, prayer request pastoral care, demographic ministries, mission trips (including Haiti), and community partnerships with ten organizations such as Bethel Bible Village, StreetWorks, City Collective, Neigh'tions, CICO, Blazing Hope Ranch, See Him Ministries, and Agape Asia. Digital offerings include YouTube live streaming, two named podcasts (Weekly Sermon with Josh Diggs and Clear Creek Chatt), the RightNow Media video library, an interactive digital calendar, the quarterly Celebration Magazine, and structured educational products (Bible Reading Plans, How to Study the Bible workshop, Raising Disciples parenting workshop, Missional Community workshop, Restoration Movement seminar). The technology stack is built entirely on third-party SaaS — SnapPages for the website, Realm for church management and giving, RightNow Media for video content, and standard podcast/streaming platforms — with no proprietary technology or AI/ML capability disclosed.

The business model is donation-based and free at point of consumption. Revenue is generated exclusively through voluntary tithes and offerings collected via the Realm online giving platform (one-time and recurring options), in-person giving boxes, and mail-in checks, supplemented by earmarked mission trip contributions. The church employs 19 people, including nine full-time ministerial staff (Teaching Minister, Executive Minister, Discipleship Minister, First Connections Minister, Children's Minister, two Youth Ministers, and Worship Minister) and is governed by seven elders. It is not owned by any parent entity, has no institutional investors, and does not publicly disclose financial data.
