North Naples Church

What North Naples Church does

North Naples Church is a private, non-profit United Methodist congregation established in 1965 in Naples, Florida, operating from an 8.5-acre-plus campus at 6000 Goodlette Rd. N. with a Worship Center, Chapel, Early Childhood Center, and Sauter Wesley Center. Its core product is weekly worship, delivered via four service formats — Saturday 5:00 PM traditional, Sunday 8:15 AM and 11:00 AM traditional, and Sunday 9:30 AM contemporary — supplemented by a full calendar of children's ministry, youth programs (6th–12th grade), women's ministry, music ministry, support groups (GriefShare, DivorceCare), Bible study and discipleship groups, and community missions. The church extends its reach through Vimeo livestreaming of services and concerts, giving it a global online footprint alongside its regional Southwest Florida congregation.

The church operates an asset-heavy, member-supported model: revenues are voluntary tithes and offerings (cash, check, stock via Baird Wealth Management) with no fee-based services, and costs are lean on a 21-person staff. Notable scale signals include a 60-year brand presence, a Concert Series drawing thousands of community visitors annually since 2008, and a ~100-member United Women in Faith ministry. A material subsidiary relationship exists with The Village School of Naples (TVS), an independent K-8 school founded by the church in 2000 and accredited by the Florida Council of Independent Schools; the school operates on the church campus under a facilities-use arrangement that costs the church approximately $1,000,000 annually (custodial, utilities, landscaping, insurance, debt service on school buildings).

The church is hierarchically affiliated with The United Methodist Church through the Florida Annual Conference, which ratifies board appointments via Charge Conferences; governance is exercised locally through a Board of Stewards. Recent corporate activity in 2026 — the en masse resignation of the TVS Board of Trustees, appointment of a transitional TVS board, new Head of School Dr. Jeff Cavallo, and a pending 8.5-acre agricultural land sale to Conservation Collier — signals active governance restructuring and balance-sheet repositioning rather than expansion. Customer-base diversification is broad: congregation members, children, youth, women, individuals facing life challenges, and concert-series visitors, with no fee-based pricing or commercial revenue concentration.
