North Park Community Church

What North Park Community Church does

North Park Community Church is a non-denominational Christian church headquartered at 1510 Fanshawe Park Rd. E., London, Ontario, Canada. Founded in November 1964 by twelve families from four Brethren Assemblies of London, the church has operated continuously for over sixty years and is governed by an Elder Board and co-led by Pastoral Co-Lead Joel Miles and Executive Co-Lead Wanda Silvester with a staff of 23. It serves the London community through a portfolio of ministries including Sunday worship services (9:00am and 11:00am), children's programs (birth through grade 5), youth ministry for grades 6–12, life-stage small groups (Young Adults, Young Professionals, 60+), and care groups (DivorceCare, Cancer Care, Friendship Club, GriefShare). Adjacent operating subsidiaries include Humble Beginnings Nursery School (a weekday preschool for 3–4 year olds) and a Chinese-language ministry; outreach is delivered through the North Park Go (NPGO) platform supporting refugee sponsorship and ten global missionary partnerships.

The church's technology stack consists entirely of off-the-shelf third-party platforms—Church Center for event registration, Subsplash for online giving, Zoom for virtual programming, RightNow Media for Bible-study video content, and YouTube and Spotify for sermon and worship distribution. No proprietary technology, APIs, mobile apps, or AI/ML capabilities are in use. North Park Online, a YouTube-based livestream and on-demand video archive of Sunday services, provides global reach without requiring additional infrastructure investment.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through voluntary tithes and offerings from individual congregation members, captured via multiple giving modalities including pre-authorized monthly deductions, e-transfer, online donations, and cash or cheque contributions. A small secondary revenue stream comes from in-person ESL classes priced at $50 per student (workbook included), while online ESL courses are offered free of charge. The church is a registered Canadian non-profit and is the holder of a 2013 Sponsorship Agreement Holder contract with the Canadian Government, enabling it to privately sponsor refugees, a credential that also represents its principal regulated asset.
