Flatirons Community Church

What Flatirons Community Church does

Flatirons Community Church is a non-profit, multi-site Christian church founded in 1993 and headquartered in Lafayette, Colorado. It operates five physical campuses across the Denver Front Range (Aurora, Denver, Lafayette, Longmont, and West/Golden) plus an online campus streamed via YouTube and Facebook Live, with a sixth Loveland campus scheduled for Fall 2026. The church serves congregants of all ages with weekend worship services,NextGen programming, small groups, and a portfolio of sub-brands including Flatirons Academy (K-12), Flatirons College, the Flatirons Leadership Institute, Forge (mentorship for fatherless boys), Rise (foster-care wrap-around support), and the Be Free Initiative (anti-trafficking and justice work). A Church Planting Network partners with 20+ churches across the US and abroad, with a stated goal of 30 affiliated churches by 2033.

The underlying technology stack is conventional for a modern multi-site ministry: Rock RMS for church management, giving, and event registration; Brushfire for conference ticketing; a mobile app for live streaming and on-demand messages; and text-to-give plus cryptocurrency donation channels on top of the online giving platform. The church does not disclose any proprietary technology, API, or AI/ML capabilities. Source materials confirm no public developer platform, no patents, and no certifications.

The revenue model is donation-driven: voluntary tithes and offerings from congregants are the primary stream, supplemented by ticketed events (Marriage Conference, $25 per child for childcare), international mission trips ($3,300 to Uganda, $2,800 to Serbia), and a series of micro-programs (Financial Peace University, leadership institutes). Pricing is pay-as-you-go or one-time per event. The church is privately held, independent, and not backed by institutional capital; no parent company, funding rounds, or M&A activity are disclosed. Revenue figures are not publicly released.
