FOLLOWERS OF THE WAY

What FOLLOWERS OF THE WAY does

Followers of the Way is a Christian church network and nonprofit religious organization operating as a multi-site 'kingdom churches' community. The organization proclaims the kingdom of God and pursues disciple-making across nationalities, with stated mission to make disciples who trust and obey King Jesus out of all nations. It serves a horizontal segment comprising the general public, seekers, congregants, and missionary/refugee beneficiaries.

The core offering is in-person and online Christian teaching and worship. Core products include an extensive sermon messages archive (audio/video) covering book-of-the-Bible series such as Matthew, Romans, and Numbers, plus topical series (Spiritual Gifts, Headship Veiling) and the City on a Hill Bible School program; an annual church conference; ESL classes; biblical literature and study resources; and humanitarian aid programs such as 'Assist Amoli' supporting refugees and orphans. Distribution spans seven physical church locations — Boston/Malden and East Boston MA, Kampala Uganda, Richmond VA, Minneapolis/St Paul MN, Toronto Canada, and London Canada — supplemented by a Church Plant Media-powered website with audio/video streaming, a YouTube channel (UC7L3YQ_m6Po94p2FKyJ4P0w), and downloadable sermon content.

The business model is donation-based: the organization is funded through voluntary contributions and tithes from congregation members, with online donations processed via PayPal and earmarked for general church support or specific causes such as refugee assistance. There are no formal products or services priced for revenue; the entity is a private nonprofit religious organization with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, board composition, or financial statements. Go-to-market is community-led through content marketing (website, blog, sermons, YouTube), annual conferences, and ESL outreach, with no traditional sales motion. Headcount is reported at 6 employees, and the organization shows no technology platform beyond the church website and media player, no APIs, no proprietary AI/ML, and no enterprise customers.

Direct peers

• Vineyard Churches USA: Vineyard is a network of evangelical churches with locations across the U.S. and Canada. Its emphasis on kingdom theology, disciple-making, and missions is comparable to Followers of the Way's stated mission and multi-city approach.
• Calvary Chapel Association: Calvary Chapel is a network of independent, non-denominational churches with a strong expository Bible-teaching focus and locations across the U.S. and internationally. Its book-by-book, verse-by-verse teaching style closely mirrors Followers of the Way's sermon series approach.
• Sovereign Grace Churches: Sovereign Grace is a family of churches with a shared confession, polity, and mission spanning multiple U.S. cities and several countries. Followers of the Way is highly comparable in operating model: small paid staff, volunteer-led multi-site network, sermon archives, and conferences.
• Every Nation Churches: Every Nation is a global family of churches and ministries with campuses on multiple continents, including East Africa. Its mission to make disciples of all nations and its multi-country footprint align closely with Followers of the Way's network operating in the U.S., Uganda, and Canada.
• Acts 29 Churches: Acts 29 is a global church-planting network of evangelical churches with multiple locations across the U.S. and internationally.

Others

• Church Plant Media: Church Plant Media is the website and streaming platform provider that powers Followers of the Way's site. They serve as an enabling technology partner for hundreds of small churches and church plants, comparable as a vendor/peer in the church digital infrastructure ecosystem.
• Sword and Trumpet: Sword and Trumpet is a confessional, theological-resource organization referenced by Followers of the Way for baptism discussions. It is an adjacent peer in the conservative Reformed/restorationist media ecosystem.

Emerging players

• Servants Anonymous (SA) / Faith-Based Refugee Aid Orgs: Faith-based humanitarian organizations supporting refugees and orphans overlap with Followers of the Way's Amoli refugee assistance program. These are partial peers in the social services/outreach arm of the church's mission.
