Venture Church

What Venture Church does

Venture Church is a multi-campus evangelical non-profit church founded in 2004 by Pastors Brandon and Di Beals, headquartered at 14616 35th Ave SE in Mill Creek, Washington. The organization operates eight campuses across Washington and Idaho, including physical locations in Mill Creek, Seattle, Spokane, and Federal Way, plus an online campus and a Spanish-language campus (Venture en Español). It serves a broad congregation through a portfolio of age-segmented and life-stage ministries — Venture Kids (children), Venture YTH (middle and high school), Venture Moms, Venture Vets, Celebrate Recovery (12-step program), Venture Kids Academy (early childhood education), and the Venture Internship leadership development program — alongside a global mission initiative called Kingdom Builders supporting 20+ missionaries across 14 countries. The Mill Creek facility, seating 250, regularly accommodates 1,200+ weekly attendees, demonstrating significant capacity utilization.

The organization's product surface consists of in-person worship services, online streaming (YouTube, Facebook), a white-labeled Church Center mobile app for giving and engagement, Planning Center Check-Ins for child security, and the SnapPages-hosted website. Community outreach is delivered through events such as Trunk or Treat (2,000+ attendees in 2024), Thanksgiving Dinner (150 guests in 2025), and the Back to School Bash (30,000 lbs of groceries distributed via Convoy of Hope partnership). The internship program partners with Northwest University to offer accredited degrees at one-third standard tuition, creating a small recurring tuition revenue stream.

The business model is donation-funded: primary revenue derives from voluntary tithes (10% of member income) and offerings, supplemented by Kingdom Builders contributions and modest internship tuition ($1,000/semester full-time, $500/semester part-time). Creative giving channels include employer matching, stock gifts, IRA charitable rollovers, donor-advised funds, and cryptocurrency. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The organization maintains approximately 6 paid employees on its management roster (Brandon and Di Beals as Lead Pastors, plus campus pastors and ministry leaders), with operational scale heavily reliant on volunteer labor typical of evangelical churches.
