Community Church

What Community Church does

Community Church is a 501(c)(3) non-profit religious organization founded in 1982 in Loudoun County, Virginia, headquartered at 19790 Ashburn Rd, Ashburn, VA. It serves a multi-generational congregation through three Sunday services (8:45, 10:15, and 11:45 AM EST) delivered both in-person and via live streaming on YouTube, Facebook, and a proprietary online.church platform. The church also operates a custom mobile app on iOS and Android that provides sermon access, online giving, prayer requests, and event registration.

The church's core products and ministry programs include CKids (children's ministry from birth through 5th grade), Fire Escape (middle school youth group, grades 6–8), FE Youth (high school ministry, grades 9–12), Connect Groups (small group ministry), Foundations Classes (discipleship curriculum), a Global Missions program with partnerships in Peru, Romania, Tanzania, D.R. Congo, and Cuba, and a Local Outreach program partnering with Loudoun Hunger Relief, Loudoun Abused Women's Shelter, and other community organizations. The church operates Virginia Academy, a PreK-12th grade school, as an adjacent subsidiary, with Pastor Charlie Whitlow (Lead Pastor since 2010) serving as chancellor.

The business model is built on voluntary contributions from members and the broader community. Primary revenue streams include recurring tithes and offerings, one-time capital campaign donations (most notably the Make Room campaign targeting $10 million over two years for a new 60,000 sq ft facility), stock and asset gifts processed through Pushpay, and mission trip fees ranging from $2,950 to $3,950 per person. The church maintains a lean staff of 17 employees and generates supplementary revenue through Virginia Academy tuition and course fees for select programs such as Foundations Classes.
