Globalheart Church

What Globalheart Church does

Globalheart Church is a multi-campus Christian church organization founded in 1998 in Perth, Western Australia by Senior Pastors Gerard and Sue Keehan, operating today across four countries — Australia (Perth headquarters on Winton Road, Joondalup), Zambia (Lusaka, 2014), Germany (Hamburg, 2016), and Canada (Montreal, 2022) — with a fifth campus in Rwanda planned for 2026/27. The organization delivers religious services, faith-development programs, and community outreach through a portfolio of ministries including Global Kids (children 0-12), Global Youth (Grade 7-12), Global Young Adults (18-35), Champions (special-needs children), Connect Groups, Baptisms, Alpha courses, Starting Point, and Foundations, supported by the Tenacious House men's rehabilitation program (in partnership with Northern Compassion, 300+ men served) and a Compassion Australia child sponsorship initiative (1,200+ children sponsored).

The organization's technology stack is entirely third-party and operationally oriented: Tithe.ly for online giving at Perth, Church Center for Montreal, PayPal Giving for Hamburg, Elvanto for registration forms and connect groups, and Airtel Money/MTN Mobile Money for Lusaka. Content distribution relies on location-specific YouTube channels, Spotify and Apple Podcasts, and per-campus Instagram and Facebook accounts. No proprietary software, mobile applications, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed; the platform is Squarespace-hosted.

Globalheart Church's business model is that of a nonprofit religious organization funded exclusively by voluntary contributions. Revenue streams include recurring tithes and offerings (processed via Tithe.ly, Church Center, PayPal, mobile money, and direct bank/e-transfers), designated missions giving supporting international campuses, the Heart for the House building fund (Perth capital campaign), and donations supporting Tenacious House. No pricing or fees are charged for core services. The organization is independently governed by a Global Vision Team comprising the founding Keehan family, a General Manager, Operations Director, and volunteer elder, with local Location Pastors in each country (Keehans in Perth, Nicholls in Montreal/Hamburg, Clarkes in Lusaka). It operates as a member church of the Australian Christian Churches network of nearly 1,100 churches.
