Relevant Church

What Relevant Church does

Relevant Church is a non-profit Christian church based in Jacksonville, Oregon, originally founded as Calvary Church in 2002 and rebranded to its current name in July 2020 to emphasize cultural relevance. The church operates a single physical site at 520 N 5th Street, holding Sunday services at 10:00 AM, and is led by Lead Pastor Brian Steller. It serves individuals and families seeking authentic spiritual community, with a particular focus on families with children through its age-segmented KidZone programming (nursery through 5th grade), and addresses the pain point of feeling judged by traditional churches by positioning itself as a comfortable, non-condemning environment.

The church's product offering centers on in-person worship supplemented by an Online Campus that live-streams services on YouTube at 10:30 AM and provides on-demand audio podcasts (hosted on Libsyn) and video by 4 PM. Supporting products include the 'Bible Therapy' teaching series by Lead Pastor Brian Steller (distributed via YouTube), a children's ministry (KidZone) with a check-in/check-out security system, a hospitality service called SIPS (a full-service espresso bar with trained baristas), and branded merchandise (Relevant Merch) including t-shirts, hoodies, and mugs. The church also offers life-coaching services through Pastor Steller, who is certified via Ministry Coaching International.

Revenue is generated primarily through voluntary tithes and offerings collected via in-person baskets, text-to-give (877-793-6154), PayPal, and USPS mail, plus ancillary income from online merchandise sales priced from $12.77 to $35.50 per unit. The church is financially independent from its denominational affiliation, operating as an independent congregation within the Oregon Ministry Network of the Assemblies of God fellowship — the world's largest pentecostal denomination with 13,000+ U.S. churches and 65 million adherents worldwide. The church maintains a multi-channel digital presence (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, podcast feed, TextInChurch SMS) and a headcount of 26 employees, with no proprietary technology platform or AI capabilities disclosed.
