Phoenix Bible Church

What Phoenix Bible Church does

Phoenix Bible Church (PBC) is an independent, non-profit religious organization founded in October 2014 in Phoenix, Arizona, following the dissolution of the Phoenix campus of Mars Hill Church. The church is led by founding Pastor Tim Birdwell and operates from a single campus at 6060 N 7th Avenue, Phoenix, with Sunday worship services held at 9:00am and 10:30am, plus a Spanish-language service (PBC Espa\u00f1ol) at 10:30am in The Chapel led by Pastor Jaime Pantoja. Its ministry portfolio is segmented by life stage and includes PBC Kids (infants through 5th grade), PBC Youth (6th-12th grade), PBC College, Community Groups meeting in homes across the Phoenix Valley, Sunday classes and weekday Bible studies, and short-term mission trips to Croatia, South Africa, Peru, and other international locations.

The church's operational technology stack is built on standard, third-party platforms rather than proprietary systems. Church Center handles registrations, online giving, and people management; Planning Center schedules volunteers and ministry teams; and worship content is distributed via livestream on YouTube and Facebook and as a sermon podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Podcasts. There are no AI/ML capabilities disclosed, no proprietary software products, and no mobile app.

Phoenix Bible Church's business model is funded almost entirely by voluntary tithes and offerings from approximately 450 weekly attendees (peak reached fall 2022), supplemented by minor fee-based programs such as the $40 Intentional Parenting class and small study-guide fees. The 2022-2023 unification with Bethany Bible Church consolidated two congregations under the PBC name and roughly doubled the staff from 2 to 7 full-time members. Governance rests with the pastoral staff and an elder team, with no parent company, external investor, or stock listing. The church sustains a network of 10+ international missionary partnerships and local outreach relationships (Bridge to Hope, Phoenix Rescue Mission, Choices Pregnancy Center, Christian Family Care, Child Evangelism Fellowship, GoTEN).

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• Church Center: Software platform Phoenix Bible Church uses for registrations, giving, and people management. An ecosystem/technology peer rather than a direct competitor, but represents the operational layer PBC depends on for digital engagement and tithing infrastructure.

Direct peers

• Central Christian Church: Non-denominational evangelical church with multiple Phoenix-area campuses (Mesa, Gilbert, Queen Creek). Comparable Bible-teaching focus and demographic mix, illustrating the local multi-site competitive ceiling for non-denominational churches.
• Christ's Church of the Valley: Large non-denominational Bible church headquartered in Peoria serving the Phoenix metro. The most directly comparable peer in the same theological stream and geography, providing a multi-site scale benchmark for Phoenix Bible Church's growth path.
• Sun Valley Community Church: Non-denominational evangelical church in Gilbert, AZ serving the broader Phoenix metro. Shares PBC's mission focus, life-stage ministry structure (kids, youth, college), and service cadence, making it a useful size-and-shape peer.
• Scottsdale Bible Church: Non-denominational Bible church in the Phoenix metro area with similar theological ethos, congregation profile, and Sunday service structure to Phoenix Bible Church - a same-stream, same-market comparable.

Emerging players

• Acts 29 Church Planting Network: Network that plants and supports non-denominational Bible churches in the same theological stream as Phoenix Bible Church. Useful peer for benchmarking church-planting outcomes, governance models, and network-level resources available to PBC.

Broad incumbents

• Saddleback Church: Large evangelical megachurch with multiple U.S. and international campuses. Comparable theological tradition (non-denominational, Bible teaching) and represents a scaled incumbent in the same category.
• North Point Community Church: Large non-denominational church led by Andy Stanley in metro Atlanta. Closely mirrors PBC's Bible-teaching, non-denominational theological stream; its scale and digital reach serve as a long-horizon benchmark for where a church in PBC's tradition can grow.
• Church of the Highlands: One of the largest non-denominational churches in the U.S., headquartered in Alabama. Shares PBC's Bible-centered, non-denominational evangelical ethos and represents a mature multi-site incumbent in the same broader category.

Regional players

• Connection Point Church: Non-denominational evangelical church serving the Phoenix metro with a Bible-centered teaching model comparable to PBC, though operating primarily in a different sub-market of the region.
