Connection Pointe Christian Church

What Connection Pointe Christian Church does

Connection Pointe Christian Church is an independent, non-profit religious organization operating three physical campuses in the Indianapolis metropolitan area: a main campus in Brownsburg (1800 N. Green Street), a second campus in Avon (with a permanent facility under construction as of 2026), and a third campus in Carmel launched in 2025. The church serves congregants and local community members through weekend worship services, online streaming, and a layered portfolio of ministry programs including Kids ministry, Student ministry, Young Adults ministry, Adult groups, small groups, care groups, global missions, and serving opportunities. The organization employs approximately 80 staff led by Lead Pastor John S. Dickerson, supported by an Executive Pastor, Teaching Pastor, two Care Pastors, and directors for Young Adults, Global Impact, and Adults ministry.

The church's core product is multi-site Christian ministry, supplemented by a series of named program sub-brands: Breakthrough (a two-year spiritual renewal and generosity campaign running April 2025 – April 2027 with a $44 million fundraising goal), Daily Hope (an SMS devotional service delivering 365 daily messages via EZ Texting), Worldview Program (a youth and young adult faith formation initiative with a dedicated podcast), Career Mentoring Program (a Qooper-powered mentor matching service with College and Career tracks), Connection Pointe Academy (an enrolled children's education program), and a Sports & Fitness Center (membership-based fitness facility and sports leagues). The technology stack is built entirely on third-party SaaS platforms: Fishhook CMS for web content, Pushpay for digital giving, Vimeo for video hosting, Spotify/Apple Podcasts/YouTube for sermon and Worldview podcast distribution, EZ Texting for SMS devotionals, and Qooper for career mentor matching. No proprietary technology or AI capabilities are developed in-house.

The revenue model is voluntary contributions-based. The primary revenue stream is recurring tithes and offerings collected through weekend services, online giving, and mobile giving via Pushpay. The two-year Breakthrough campaign targets $44 million (expanded from an initial $35 million goal) to fund ongoing ministry, expansion, and compassion efforts; as of May 2026, $27.3 million had been received with total commitments of $44.96 million. Secondary recurring revenue streams include Sports & Fitness memberships (pickleball, youth sports, open gym) and Connection Pointe Academy tuition. Core worship services, small groups, and most programs are provided free of charge, funded by the giving model. The church distributes content globally through streaming and podcast channels while concentrating physical operations in Hendricks and Hamilton counties in Indiana.
