East Cobb Presbyterian Church

What East Cobb Presbyterian Church does

East Cobb Presbyterian Church (ECPC) is a private nonprofit religious congregation affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) denomination, operating from a single campus at 4616 Roswell Road in Marietta, Georgia. Its core 'product' is weekly Sunday worship services at 10:30 a.m., delivered both on campus and via YouTube live stream, supported by a comprehensive ministry portfolio that spans the full life cycle: nursery and children's programs (Little Lambs, Gospel Kids, Foundations, Breakaway Soccer Camp), student ministries for grades 6-12 (D-Groups, summer interns), women's and men's fellowship and Bible study groups, and care ministries (Stephen Ministry, Parakaleo, Embrace Life, Embrace Grace). The church also operates a 'Beyond Our Walls' community-outreach arm that partners with Summerhill Community Ministries (hot lunches for ~70 children) and The Table On Delk (140 daily sack lunches for at-risk children), and is affiliated with East Cobb Christian School.

The underlying technology stack is entirely third-party and standard for mid-size U.S. churches: a Squarespace-hosted website (eastcobbpres.org), CCB Church for member management and sign-ups, Pushpay for online giving, Mailchimp for email newsletters, YouTube for live streaming, and Instagram for student-ministry engagement. There are no proprietary technology assets, AI/ML capabilities, or patents/trademarks disclosed.

ECPC's revenue model is that of a typical house-of-worship nonprofit: voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members form the primary recurring revenue stream, supplemented by nominal program fees (e.g., $60 per camper at Breakaway Soccer Camp) and designated donations for external ministry partners. The congregation is governed by a board of elders and deacons under PCA polity, and the organization employs approximately 6 paid staff, including Senior Pastor Tim Locke (since 2014) and Executive Director Jordan Ross (since 2022), with a large volunteer lay leadership body.

Others

• Summerhill Community Ministries: Indenously-led Christian community organization in Atlanta's Summerhill neighborhood, with which ECPC has partnered for 20+ years to feed inner-city children. Comparable as a faith-based community-outreach partner, not as a competing church.
• East Cobb Christian School: Affiliated K-12 Christian school sharing leadership and facility relationships with ECPC. Not a competing church but a directly co-located partner entity; included because its enrollment and family pipeline are integral to ECPC's growth dynamics.
• The Table On Delk: Atlanta-area anti-trafficking ministry that receives daily sack-lunch support from ECPC. Directly partnered ecosystem organization addressing vulnerable populations; comparable only as a faith-based community-service entity rather than as a competing congregation.

Direct peers

• Johnson Ferry Baptist Church: Large Southern Baptist church in Marietta, Georgia. ECPC's actual Embrace Grace partner, located in the same East Cobb/Marietta market with overlapping suburban family demographic and similar multi-generational ministry programming — directly comparable in geography and ministry scope.
• Christ Community Church: Suburban evangelical church with multiple campuses (originally in metro Atlanta) emphasizing gospel-centered community and small groups. Compares on ministry model (Life Groups analog), suburban family focus, and Reformed-adjacent teaching.
• Perimeter Church: Large PCA-affiliated church in Johns Creek, Georgia (also suburban Atlanta). Same denomination, similar gospel-centered/Reformed theological orientation, and comparable family-and-community ministry emphasis — directly comparable along denomination, geography, and ministry model.
• McLean Presbyterian Church: PCA-affiliated church in McLean, Virginia. Same denomination as ECPC with comparable suburban, family-oriented congregation profile and similar breadth of children's, youth, and adult ministry programming.

Broad incumbents

• Peachtree Presbyterian Church: Large historic Presbyterian (USA) church in Atlanta's Buckhead area. Same broader Presbyterian tradition as ECPC, similar family-focused programming, but substantially larger congregation and resources — operates as a broader incumbent in the same regional Presbyterian market.
• Passion City Church: Atlanta-based evangelical church with multiple campuses, large staff, and modern worship production. Competes in the same metro Atlanta market for young adults and families, but with materially larger resource base and brand reach.
• North Point Community Church: One of the largest evangelical churches in metro Atlanta (Alpharetta), founded by Andy Stanley. Operates as a broader incumbent in the same Atlanta suburban religious market with significantly more resources and reach, competing for the same family demographic.
