What Centre Street Church does

Centre Street Church is a non-profit, multi-campus Christian church headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, founded in 1959 and operating with 107 employees. It serves its congregation through five physical campuses (Central, Airdrie, Bearspaw, Bridgeland, and Lakeview) and an online campus streaming at csc.online.church, delivering weekly worship services, age-specific ministries from birth through adults 55+, and a disability ministry. The church's core product portfolio includes weekly in-person and online worship services, a 9-week Welcome to Community introduction program, Baptism & Membership sacraments, prayer ministry, pastoral care services (weddings, funerals, visitation, emergency pastoral care), and a broad small-group discipleship infrastructure.

The underlying technology stack is standard for the sector: Rock RMS church management software powers the website, member accounts, event registration, and communications, while csc.online.church provides live and on-demand streaming for video content. The church maintains a content library of sermons and ministry resources, and operates sub-brands including Centre for the City (urban outreach), Crossover Sports (sports ministry), and Welcome to Community (formerly Taste and See).

The business model is donations-based and entirely voluntary, with revenue streams from tithes, offerings, in-person giving, online giving, and capital campaigns such as 'Build More Room'. Operational reach extends globally through Global Ministries partnerships with approximately 30 international church partners across Cambodia, North Africa, Nepal, Southeast Asia, and Mexico, supporting a network of 100 village churches and 1,500+ people in Cambodia alone, plus a Southeast Asia Bible College that has produced 100+ graduates. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
