Cross Creek Church

What Cross Creek Church does

Cross Creek Church is a non-profit evangelical church based in Fountain, Colorado, operating from a single campus at 7230 C & S Rd. Originally founded as Gideon Baptist Church in November 1970, it was renamed Cross Creek Church in January 2010 under Lead Pastor Michael Haley, who has led the congregation since July 2008. The organization serves the Fountain community and the broader I-25 corridor through a layered ministry portfolio anchored by two Sunday services (9:15 and 10:45 AM) and a livestream of the later service distributed via Facebook and YouTube.

The church's core programs are organized by life stage: Kids Creek (children birth through 5th grade using The Gospel Project curriculum), The 412 Student Ministry (6th-12th grade), Cross Creek Young Adults (ages 18-30), and adult discipleship pathways including Community Groups, D-Groups, Re:gen (a 10-month 12-step program), Re|engage (marriage enrichment), and biblically-integrated counseling delivered by credentialed staff including a SYMBIS-certified Executive Pastor. The technology stack is commodity SaaS: The Church Co for the website, Pushpay for online and mobile giving, CCB Church for forms/registrations, and RightNow Media as a content library. An iOS app is connected to the giving platform.

The revenue model is donations-based: recurring tithes and one-time offerings from congregants and attendees, supplemented by small fee-based programs (e.g., $5/child weekly BibleLab childcare, $15 Re:gen workbooks, $30 Re|engage workbooks, $299 Awaken 2026 conference). Distribution is community-led and event-driven, with members actively encouraged to invite unchurched friends through the 'Invite, Include, Invest' framework. The church is affiliated with Baptist Bible Fellowship International and the Southern Baptist Convention for denominational support, but operates independently with no parent company or external capital.
