Eden Church

What Eden Church does

Eden Church is a private non-profit religious organization founded in August 2023 by Pastor Brandon and his wife Malia in Hackensack, New Jersey, operating under the mission to 'crown the Garden State with the care of Christ.' Its core activities are Christian worship services held Sundays at 11 AM at Sara Tyndall Hall (345 State Street, Hackensack), supplemented by weekly discipleship small groups called HOODs, volunteer service teams known as the Dream Team (Eden Kids Team, Hospitality Team, Prayer Team), the Eden Kids children's ministry, summer youth programming, prayer support, and digital content distribution. The organization is funded entirely through voluntary donations and tithes collected online and at services, with no priced products or services, and has a stated headcount of approximately 5. There is no proprietary technology, software product, or AI component; the 'platform' is the physical gathering at Sara Tyndall Hall plus a content footprint on YouTube, Spotify, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

The church serves individuals and families in North Jersey seeking a Christ-centered community, with explicit outreach to first-time visitors and those returning to church after time away. Its go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: prospective members are reached via digital channels and word-of-mouth, then onboarded through Sunday services, HOODs groups, or Dream Team volunteer roles. Eden Church has no parent company, no venture capital backing, no subsidiaries, no patents, no partnerships disclosed, and no public financial reporting; ownership and operational control rest with the founding pastors.

Regional players

• Liquid Church: One of the largest evangelical church networks in New Jersey, running multiple campuses and a heavy digital content strategy. Directly comparable as a New Jersey-based church targeting similar community segments, though at significantly larger scale.
• Christ Tabernacle: Long-established multi-generational evangelical church in the greater New Jersey/New York metro area with active community programming. Comparable as a regional New Jersey-area church competing for the same donor and member pool.

Broad incumbents

• Church of the Highlands: One of the largest U.S. megachurches with a multisite, small-group-driven model and strong Dream Team-equivalent volunteer infrastructure. Comparable structurally in its reliance on small groups and volunteer teams for member engagement.
• Elevation Church: National megachurch founded by Pastor Steven Furtick, with one of the largest online sermon footprints in the U.S. Comparable brand archetype (charismatic pastor-led, digital-first, modern worship) that Eden Church's YouTube/Spotify strategy aspires toward.
• North Point Community Church: Andy Stanley-led non-denominational church known for strategic, teaching-driven preaching and a strong small-groups culture. Comparable as a high-production preaching brand that Eden's YouTube/Spotify content strategy mirrors at smaller scale.

Direct peers

• The Church of Eleven22: Fast-growing, multisite non-denominational church plant with a contemporary worship model, small groups, and children's ministry. Comparable as a recently planted, growth-oriented evangelical church targeting unchurched and returning visitors.
• Mercy Church: Newer evangelical church plant model with a focus on community outreach, contemporary worship, and small group discipleship. Comparable as a small, recently planted church pursuing similar mission-driven community engagement.
• Transformation Church: Multi-site evangelical church with strong digital presence, sermon content distribution, and a culture of community-driven discipleship. Comparable in GTM approach (community-led, content-heavy) and target demographic of younger Christian families.
• Hope Church (Las Vegas): Multi-ethnic, contemporary non-denominational church with strong digital content, small groups, and family/children's programming. Comparable in demographic targeting and digital-first engagement approach.
• LCBC Church: Non-denominational multisite church plant model originating in central Pennsylvania with a strong focus on small groups, kids' ministry, and weekly community programming — directly comparable to Eden Church's HOODs/Dream Team/Eden Kids structure.
