Orchard Church

What Orchard Church does

Orchard Church is a non-profit Christian church headquartered in Brighton, Colorado, founded in 2005 by Lead Pastor Doug Dameron. It operates two physical locations (Brighton and Iglesia Orchard in Thornton) plus a Green Valley Ranch community-events footprint, drawing an average of 3,000+ attendees each Sunday and serving congregants across English and Spanish-language services. Its ministries span OC Kids (500+ children), Orchard Students, Orchard Young Adults, Women's Ministry, Care Ministry, Small Groups and the B.L.E.S.S. outreach initiative, supplemented by signature programs such as AT THE MOVIES, Summer Camp and the Tim Tebow Foundation's Night to Shine for people with special needs. The organization is in the midst of a 20th-anniversary expansion anchored by the IMAGINE INITIATIVE, a $4-6 million two-year generosity campaign funding a 350-400 seat multi-purpose auditorium, coffee shop, indoor kids play area, additional campus locations and the Orchard Ministry Institute (OMI) residency program.

Orchard Church's operating technology stack is a conventional SaaS assembly for faith-based organizations: a Subsplash-powered mobile app for iOS and Android, Pushpay for digital giving (including a separate Spanish-language giving page), CCB Church for member, volunteer, event and baptism registration, Vimeo and YouTube for live and on-demand video, and a Squarespace-hosted website. There are no proprietary technology products, no AI/ML capabilities and no developer-facing APIs; the technology layer exists to support operations rather than to be a product itself.

The organization's revenue model is recurring voluntary giving from congregants (tithes and offerings) plus ancillary merchandise sales through a branded online store, with no publicly disclosed pricing or financial statements. The IMAGINE INITIATIVE represents a two-year congregational capital campaign rather than external equity investment. Orchard Church is staffed by a 25-person team across executive leadership, ministry, communications, finance, facilities and OMI residents, and partners with 10+ local and global mission organizations including Denver Rescue Mission, Hope First Family Resource Center, Almost Home, Global Surge (Philippines), Manna Worldwide (Guatemala) and Ireland for Jesus.
