What FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF BLACK FOREST does

Cross Fellowship Church (operating in the Black Forest area of Colorado Springs) is a multi-campus religious organization serving local community members and families in the Colorado Springs metropolitan area of Colorado. The church operates two physical locations — the Black Forest campus at 10915 Black Forest Rd and the Palmer Park campus at 4808 Palmer Park Blvd — providing weekly worship services, age-segmented ministry programs (Life Groups, Children, Students, Women, Men, Young Adults, Senior Adults, Missions), and recurring community events including Summer Camp, Vacation Bible School, and Rockies Faith Day. Remote engagement is supported through YouTube sermon streaming channels maintained per campus, Linktree aggregator pages, and a counseling microservice at crossfcsoulcare.com.

The organization's technology stack centers on the third-party One Church software platform (onechurchsoftware.com), which provides integrated management of events, forms, sermon resources, and online giving. Congregants access these resources through the "My One Church App," a mobile application available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store that automatically connects users to Cross Fellowship when opened. There is no evidence of proprietary technology development, custom AI/ML capability, or in-house engineering beyond configuration of the One Church SaaS.

The revenue model is donation-based: Cross Fellowship receives charitable contributions from congregation members through tithes and offerings processed via the One Church giving platform, accessible through both the church website and the mobile app. As a private religious organization, the entity operates without public stock exchange listing and is structured similarly to a nonprofit. The reported headcount of 9 employees supports operations across both campuses, with the broader ministry footprint sustained by volunteer-driven programming rather than paid staff.
