Door Creek Church

What Door Creek Church does

Door Creek Church is a multi-campus evangelical Protestant church founded in 1965 (originally as "Buckeye Church") and headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin. It operates three physical campuses — Sprecher Road (main/headquarters at 6602 Dominion Drive), DeForest, and Northside Madison — serving the greater Madison metropolitan area including DeForest, Sun Prairie, McFarland, and Lake Mills. The church's ministry portfolio is segmented by life stage, including DCC Kids (birth through grade 5), Door Creek Youth/DCY (grades 6–12), Young Professionals (20s–30s), InBetweeners (singles 40–65), Senior Adults 55+, men's and women's Bible studies, Upward Sports leagues, and Care & Support groups (GriefShare, DivorceCare, Giving Hope). Outreach includes a weekly food pantry drive for partner schools, missions via Boomerangs Resale Store (a separate 501c3), and Door of Hope.

The church runs digital operations through My DCC, an online community platform built on Church Community Builder (CCB) that supports group sign-ups, volunteer scheduling, online giving, and directory access. Sunday services at 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM are livestreamed globally, with an on-demand archive and dedicated DCC Kids programming distributed via YouTube. Additional digital touchpoints include Facebook groups, Instagram, a Discord server for Young Professionals, and a Linktree hub consolidating resources. The church is led by Lead Pastor Jamie Thompson with a staff of approximately 28 people across ministries.

Revenue comes primarily from voluntary tithes and offerings collected during services and through the online giving portal. Supplementary income includes nominal fees for select programs (e.g., $25 women's Bible study materials, $30 InBetweeners retreat, $75 Senior Adults event, $31 Brewers game tickets) and revenue from Boomerangs Resale Store that supports missions. Worship services and most Bible studies are free, with financial assistance available. The organization is a privately held nonprofit under a stewardship board governance model with no institutional investment, parent company, or acquisition activity.
