New Heights Church

What New Heights Church does

New Heights Church is a non-denominational Christian congregation headquartered in Fayetteville, Arkansas, founded in October 2000 with its first service on May 27, 2001. The organization serves approximately 2,000 weekly attendees (as of the last disclosed figure in 2012), drawn primarily from families in Northwest Arkansas and University of Arkansas students. Its core offering is weekly Sunday worship held twice (9:00 AM and 10:45 AM) at the Fayetteville Boys and Girls Club, supplemented by a multi-entity ministry ecosystem that includes Community Groups (home-based small groups), Discovery (onboarding cohorts), Equip (Bible-study classes), the Deeper discipleship intensive, Global Outfitters (missions), The Joshua Center (the largest counseling center in Arkansas), Potter's House (at-risk children and families, spun out 2014), Belong Ministry (foster/adoption), Beautiful Lives Boutique (thrift retail), Cobblestone Farms (food access), and Cobblestone Farm Community (affordable housing, phase one completed 2025 with ~100 families).

The technology stack is intentionally lightweight: a third-party Church Center mobile app (Planning Center platform) handles mobile check-in, giving, event sign-up, and sermon notes, and YouTube livestreaming has been used since 2020 to serve global online audiences. The organization has planted three regional churches (Bentonville 2013, Siloam Springs 2015, Memphis 2015) and operates an elder-led governance model under co-directional leaders Lee Epstein and Jim Hall, with approximately 40 employees. The Preschool Place program, launched in 2018, is being discontinued in 2026.

Revenue mechanics rely overwhelmingly on voluntary tithes and offerings from the local congregation, supplemented by low-margin book sales (devotionals priced at $2-$10 to cover printing and shipping) and modest program fees for the Deeper intensive ($60/person with scholarships). As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the church does not disclose financials, has no parent company, and operates without external investor ownership. No AI, API, or proprietary technology capabilities are present.
