Kirtland Christian Fellowship

What Kirtland Christian Fellowship does

Kirtland Christian Fellowship is an independent, privately-held Christian church and nonprofit organization headquartered at 10001 Chillicothe Road in Kirtland, Ohio. The church operates under a Care.Connect.Cultivate ministry framework and serves a local congregation through a portfolio of age-segmented programs: KCF Kids (nursery through 5th grade), Ground Zero Youth Ministry (6th-12th grade), adult ministries including men's, women's, and small groups (6-15 people meeting weekly or bi-weekly, some via Zoom), the ARK Special Needs Ministry for adults and teens with special needs, and a missions program supporting local and international missionaries.

The church's technology footprint is modest and entirely third-party: a Squarespace-hosted website, a YouTube channel (UCyaunngCqXjneinP4S-HvVw) for sermon distribution, and the CCB Church platform branded as "KCF Connect" for member login and community engagement. There is no proprietary software, mobile app, or integrated digital ministry platform; the church does not charge for any of its services or programs.

Financially, Kirtland Christian Fellowship operates as a religious nonprofit with revenue derived from voluntary tithes and offerings from its congregation — no specific dollar figures are publicly disclosed. The organization employs 7 staff members including a Senior Pastor (Pat Smith), Associate Pastor (Tim French), Connect/ARK Coordinator, Care Coordinator, Operations Administrator, Treasurer, and Financial Secretary. Growth occurs through community word-of-mouth and outreach rather than formal marketing, and the church maintains community-service partnerships with local organizations including Hannah's Home and The Meeting Place.
