Naperville Presbyterian Church

What Naperville Presbyterian Church does

Naperville Presbyterian Church (NPC) is a non-profit Presbyterian congregation founded in 1984 in Naperville, Illinois, operating from a single campus at 943 Sanctuary Lane with approximately 9 staff members. Its core offering is a weekly Sunday morning worship service at 10:00 a.m., framed as a gospel-centered gathering centered on preaching, the sacraments, and congregational music, supplemented by an extensive online sermon archive and downloadable audio organized by series. The church runs a portfolio of age-specific ministries (Children's, Student/Middle School/High School/College, and Adult Men's and Women's ministries), small-group community through Growth Groups, Discipleship Classes, an English-as-a-Second-Language program, the application-based Gospel Training Center, and pastoral Care & Support services through deacons.

The technology stack is built around Planning Center's Church Center platform, which handles member management, event registration, online giving (ACH and credit/debit), the Church Center mobile app, and member communications; this is supplemented by Mailchimp for broadcast email, a Church Plant Media-powered website, and a presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Giving also flows through SMS text-to-give, mailed checks, in-service offering plates, and non-cash contributions (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, American Express points).

The business model is voluntary donation-based: tithes and offerings are framed as worship responses rather than fees, with no pricing for services. There is a hybrid segmentation across congregation members, families with children, youth/students, men, women, and ESL learners, all served predominantly through physical gathering with digital extensions for remote engagement and giving.
