Kingsport Community Church

What Kingsport Community Church does

Kingsport Community Church (KCC) is a nondenominational Christian religious organization operating as a 501(c)-style nonprofit in Kingsport, Tennessee. The church is affiliated with the Church of God (Anderson) denomination for theological alignment while retaining independent local governance. Its core offerings are weekly Sunday Worship Services (10:45 AM) and Sunday School (9:30–10:30 AM), supported by a layered engagement ecosystem that includes Small Groups, the NextSteps foundational class, monthly Meet the Pastors luncheons, nursery-through-5th-grade childcare and children's ministry, and the annual Full Life Sports Camp — a week-long summer program (July 6–10, 2026) combining athletics with biblical teaching for K–5th graders, with a Counselor-in-Training track for completed 6th graders and a volunteer track for 7th grade+.

The church reaches congregants through a physical facility at 2316 Memorial Blvd in Kingsport and three redundant remote channels: a YouTube live/archived stream, a Facebook Live presence, and a phone-in audio bridge (423-345-8899). Administrative and financial infrastructure runs on the Church Center SaaS platform for online giving and member management, with JotForm powering camp/volunteer registrations. Leadership comprises Senior Pastor Stephen Collins, Worship & Executive Pastor Zach Carll, and Next Gen Pastor Jamichael Lipscomb, supported by a six-person paid staff.

KCC's revenue model is voluntary tithes and offerings from members, with no fees charged for any service or program. Online contributions flow through Church Center and offline contributions by mail; the church's stated posture is that "KCC exists because of the generosity of people just like you." There is no pricing model, no enterprise sales motion, and no external equity or institutional funding — the entity operates as a community-supported nonprofit with a community-led go-to-market built on word-of-mouth referrals, Sunday visitor flows, and digital content distribution.
