College Hills Church Christ

What College Hills Church Christ does

College Hills Church of Christ is an independent, non-denominational Christian congregation (Church of Christ) headquartered at 1401 Leeville Pike, Lebanon, Tennessee, serving the residents of Lebanon and surrounding Wilson County. The organization operates a single-campus ministry with two Sunday worship services (8:45 AM and 11:00 AM), Sunday and Wednesday Bible classes for all ages, Life Groups, and approximately twelve paid staff across preaching, executive, worship, student, children's, family, and administrative functions. It also operates Hearthside Senior Living, a wholly-owned adjacent ministry providing independent retirement and assisted living on the same campus.

The church's product surface is unusually broad for a sub-urban congregation. Beyond core worship and education, it runs CH Kids (birth through 6th grade), CH Student Ministry (7th-12th grade), Women's Ministry, Deaf Ministry with ASL interpretation, VIP Special Needs Ministry, and Family Ministry. Community outreach includes the Manning Compassion Center food pantry, Pregnancy Help Center, annual School Store giveaway, MAGI Boxes mission program, Hearn House men's transition home, Jail Correspondence Ministry, and partnerships with Compassionate Hands homeless shelter, Habitat for Humanity of Wilson County, Nashville Inner City Ministry, AGAPE Counseling, World Bible School, Baja Missions, Healing Hands International, and Mission Lazarus. The technology stack is composed of standard third-party SaaS: Ministry Brands Amplify for online giving, KidCheck for children's check-in, YouTube for streaming, Spotify for music, Church Center for forms, and AccessACS for member access.

The revenue model is donation-driven: voluntary tithes and offerings from members and attendees, processed through in-person giving, mail-in contributions, and the Ministry Brands Amplify online portal and mobile app, allocated to Operating, Capital, and Vision funds. The 48-week Operating Fund budget covers church operations and facilities. All services are free and open to the public. Internationally, the church has launched a 3-year, $300,000 campaign beginning January 2025 to support the North San Quintín church in Baja California, Mexico.
