Kilpatrick Church

What Kilpatrick Church does

Kilpatrick Church is a small nonprofit religious organization operating a single campus at 10005 E. Barnum Rd. in Woodland, Michigan, serving the surrounding rural community. The organization is staffed by a five-person team led by Lead Pastor Roxton Spear and Associate Pastor Victor Collins, with additional pastoral and ministry coordinators handling youth (Neil Estep), children's ministry (Matthew Kingshott), women's ministry (Laurie Patrick), and administration (Bette Rusch). Its core offering is two Sunday worship services (9:00-10:15 am and 10:45 am-12:00 pm) featuring contemporary music and pastoral teaching, supported by a full age-segmented ministry stack: nursery and Sunday School programs (First Look for 3-5 year olds, Dig In for K-5th grade), youth group Oxygen O2 for 6th-12th graders, men's and women's ministries with annual retreats, and Life Groups for small-group fellowship. A wholly-owned subsidiary, Good Soil Academy (founded 2023), extends the organization into classical Christian K-12 education.

The technology stack is entirely outsourced commodity SaaS: the kilpatrickchurch.com website runs on Clover Sites; donations are processed through Clover Give with text-to-give functionality (text GIVE to 616-300-1556); member engagement is delivered via the MinistryOne mobile app; and discipleship content is provided through a RightNow Media content-library partnership. Audio and video archives of sermons are hosted on the website and YouTube channel. There are no proprietary technology assets, no APIs, and no AI/ML capabilities in operation.

The revenue model is donation-based, with voluntary tithes and offerings (in-person and via Clover Give) as the primary inflow, supplemented by retreat registration fees ($40 per Women's Retreat attendee, $110-$120 per Men's Retreat attendee) and ancillary event fees. Worship services, ministries, and the Good Soil Academy-affiliated programming are offered free of charge to members and attendees. There are no enterprise customers, no institutional donors disclosed, no funding rounds, and no commercial pricing tiers; the organization operates autonomously with pastoral leadership and is neither venture-backed nor PE-owned.
