Faith Christian Reformed Church

What Faith Christian Reformed Church does

Faith Christian Reformed Church is an independent, non-profit Christian congregation in the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA) denomination, founded in 1962 by sixteen families meeting at Pinewood Elementary in Mounds View, Minnesota, and now operating from its sole campus at 1600 Silver Lake Road in New Brighton. The church runs a Sunday worship service at 9:30 a.m. that combines prayer, Biblically-based preaching, and blended traditional/contemporary music, delivered in-person and via live streaming with on-demand access. Its ministry portfolio is age-stratified and includes Sunday Kids Ministries (nursery, Children & Worship, Faith Formation), Wednesday Cadets (boys) and GEMS (girls) scouting-style programs, middle school Ignite, high school Endeavor plus the annual Twin Cities SERVE mission experience, and Adult Ministries encompassing small groups, Bible studies, a Book Club, and seasonal fellowship events. It is governed by Pastor Travis Deur alongside a Director of Worship and Music, Administrative Assistant/Custodian, and Director of Building and Grounds, supported by seven elders and four deacons, totaling 16 paid and volunteer leaders.

The organization's technology footprint is modest and operational rather than product-oriented: Breeze Church Management Software powers online giving, member tracking, and administration; live streaming and on-demand video extend worship beyond the physical building; and an electronic check-in system supports nursery safety. No proprietary software, app, API, or AI capability is offered. Distribution happens primarily through the Sunday service and weekly programs on-site, supplemented by digital channels (website, live stream, The Today daily devotional) and community outreach through ministry partners including the Community Support Center (housed at the church), The Dwelling Place, Ralph Reeder Food Shelf, World Renew, Resonate Global Mission, Thrive (CRCNA), the Nehemiah Center in Nicaragua, and a 24-year sister-church relationship with New Life Church.

The business model is the conventional non-profit tithes-and-offerings model: all worship services and programs are free, and revenue is generated exclusively from voluntary recurring offerings collected during and alongside Sunday services, with a scheduled offering rotation directing portions of giving to local and denominational ministries. There is no pricing structure, no commercial product revenue, and no external ownership; the church is self-governed under CRCNA affiliation. Strategic priorities evidenced in the data center on deepening community embedment in the New Brighton/Mounds View corridor, sustaining global missionary support, and gradually extending digital reach via streaming and online giving rather than pursuing scale or geographic expansion.

Others

• Pushpay: Major church giving and engagement platform serving thousands of congregations; a comparable alternative to Breeze for the digital giving infrastructure layer that Faith CRC and similar mid-sized churches rely on.
• Resonate Global Mission: CRCNA missionary-sending agency that Faith CRC supports financially (including missionaries in Japan and Central America). Functions in the same denominational giving and mission-support pipeline as Faith CRC.
• Tithe.ly: Church giving and mobile engagement platform used by congregations of similar size and profile. Competes in the same digital-giving infrastructure space that underpins Faith CRC's offering revenue stream.
• Breeze Church Management Software: Church management platform integrated into Faith CRC's website for online giving and member administration. As the technology infrastructure layer Faith CRC depends on, Breeze is the most directly adjacent enabling peer for back-office operations.
• World Renew: CRCNA's relief and development agency, regularly supported by Faith CRC's offering rotation. Operates in the same faith-based funding ecosystem and benefits from the same donor congregations Faith CRC draws from.
• ThereforeGo Ministries: Faith-based youth service organization that partners with Faith CRC (and Calvary CRC) to host the annual Twin Cities SERVE program. Operates in the same youth ministry ecosystem with overlapping mission and participant base.

Broad incumbents

• Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA): The denomination to which Faith CRC belongs; operates broadly across the U.S. and Canada through thousands of congregations, providing doctrinal standards, denominational agencies (World Renew, Resonate, Thrive), and shared resources. Functions as the broader incumbent ecosystem for Faith CRC.

Direct peers

• Calvary CRC (Edina, MN): Fellow Christian Reformed Church congregation in the Twin Cities that directly co-hosts the Twin Cities SERVE youth program with Faith CRC. Same denomination (CRCNA), comparable suburban Minnesota congregation profile, and explicit operational partnership make it the closest direct peer.
