INGLEWOOD BAPTIST CHURCH

What INGLEWOOD BAPTIST CHURCH does

Inglewood Baptist Church is a nonprofit religious organization founded in 1957 under the Dallas Baptist Association and affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention through its Cooperative Program, headquartered at 1901 S. Carrier Pkwy, Grand Prairie, Texas. The church delivers its core offering through recurring weekly programming: Sunday Worship Services at 9:30 AM, Sunday School classes at 11:00 AM across all age groups, and Wednesday evening Adult Bible Study at 6:30 PM. Supporting its worship and education core, the church operates a full lifecycle of age-segmented ministries including Children's Ministry (Rachel Norton), Youth Ministry (James West), Women's Ministry, Men's Ministry, and Senior Adults programs (Keenagers). Its operational scope extends globally through a Missions Ministry led by Ed Miller, supporting the Goodrich, Cortimilia, Houston, and Thomae' missionary families, conducting annual trips to Zambia's Chande Baptist Orphanage (serving nearly 1,000 children including 250 orphans), and ministry in South Africa and DFW immigrant communities.

Community-facing services include a Homeless Outreach program (partnership with GPHOO delivering 96-100 meals weekly, 12,000+ meals since 2021, plus cooling/warming center services), a Pregnancy Resource Center (Bottles for Change and Hands for Love programs), and a church Library. The technology stack is modest: a WordPress-based website (inglewoodbaptist.com) for service information and announcements, a YouTube channel (UCZRlW50H4vKreca6hmDLpTQ) with 25+ archived worship broadcasts for online streaming, and a third-party TPS Database platform (inglewoodbaptist.tpsdb.com) for online tithing. The church does not operate proprietary technology, does not have an app, and does not expose APIs or integrations.

The business model is a nonprofit congregation-contribution model. There are no fees for services; all worship, education, and ministry programs are free to attendees. Revenue derives entirely from voluntary tithes and offerings collected in-person during services and via the online giving platform. Of annual receipts, 11% are remitted to the SBC Cooperative Program and 1.2% to the Dallas Baptist Association to support broader denominational missions and seminaries. The church employs 6 staff members, led by Senior Pastor Dr. Ricky Guenther. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and no select customers, certifications, patents, M&A activity, or institutional funding structure is present.
