Millbrae Bible Church

What Millbrae Bible Church does

Millbrae Bible Church is an independent, non-denominational nonprofit church headquartered at 20 Magnolia Avenue in Millbrae, California, operating a comprehensive gospel-centered ministry program for individuals and families across all life stages. Its core offerings include weekly Sunday worship services (delivered in-person and streamed via a dedicated YouTube channel), age-segmented children's and youth programs (MBCKids spanning nursery through 5th grade, MBCYouth for middle and high schoolers via Elevate, Anchor, and F.I.T.), small-group fellowship through Life Groups, a CampToons summer day camp for children entering 1st-7th grades, prayer ministry with virtual gatherings, and an online giving platform. The church supports seven named mission partnerships — local (InterVarsity at Stanford, Alpha Pregnancy Center) and global (Olive Tree Ministries in Mexico, World Venture in Japan, Global Training Network, CRU, Operation Christmas Child) — and operates an extensive volunteer-serving structure across Kids, Youth, Tech, Worship, Welcome, and Kitchen teams.

The technology stack is intentionally lightweight and entirely third-party: Planning Center Online handles donations, recurring gifts, and church management; YouTube hosts live and archived services; Church Center is used for event registration; and Zoom supports virtual prayer gatherings. There are no proprietary platforms, AI/ML components, APIs, or mobile applications disclosed. The church is governed by an Elder Team (four named elders) and operated by an 8-person Staff Team led by Lead Pastor Dalon Chin, with Associate Pastor Deedee Balce, Youth Pastor Joshua Loftin, Children's Ministry Director Dori Low, Office Administrator Chris Lee, Creative + Communications Coordinator Katherine Leung, Facilities + Technology lead Matt Wada, and a Worship Ministry Intern. CampToons, the most commercially structured offering, was launched in 2013 and has more than doubled its seasonal capacity and staff since inception.

Revenue is generated through two streams: voluntary tithes and offerings (one-time and recurring online, stock transfers via Merrill Lynch, and cash/check), and CampToons summer camp registration fees publicly posted at $360-$430 per child per week depending on grade and field-trip inclusion, plus $50/week extended care. Pricing for giving is undisclosed (voluntary); camp pricing is fully public. The go-to-market motion is community-led, relying on Sunday services, Life Groups, ministry programs, and word-of-mouth rather than paid acquisition. No enterprise customers, no app stores, no public listing, and no external ownership or parent company are indicated.
