What Royal Palms Baptist Church does

Royal Palms Baptist Church is a Christ-centered, Southern Baptist-affiliated congregation located at 8802 N. 19th Ave. in Phoenix, Arizona. It operates a single physical campus and serves a multi-generational congregation of families and individuals in the Phoenix metropolitan area, with dedicated programming for children (birth through 6th grade), youth (7th through 12th grade), men, and women. The church's core "products" are weekly Sunday worship services at 10:30 a.m., Wednesday Community Nights (men's and women's Bible study, youth ministry, Kids RECAP, and Phoenix Eagles soccer outreach), and a Next Steps membership pathway (Discover lunch, Church 101, membership packet) that moves newcomers from attendance to belonging. Supporting offerings include an online sermon archive organized by series, speaker, scripture, and date, and a structurally similar Next Steps pathway that funnels visitors into full membership.

The church operates as an independent nonprofit under an elder governance model, with Senior Pastor Jason Draper, Associate Pastor Joshi Yesudasan, Chairman of Elders Mark French, and additional elders and deacons providing oversight. Staffing is intentionally lean at six paid employees (including a Children's Director, Youth Ministry/Communications roles, and a Technical Director), supplemented by volunteer leaders across ministries. The technology footprint is minimal: a Squarespace-hosted website (royalpalms.org) and the Breezechms church management platform used for online giving via ACH or debit card and member accounts. No proprietary software, app, API, or AI capabilities are disclosed.

Revenue is generated exclusively through voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members, both in-person during services and digitally through the Breezechms portal. The church allocates over 10% of its annual operating budget to mission partnerships, including the Arizona Mission Network, the Southern Baptist Convention / International Mission Board (IMB), the North American Mission Board (Annie Armstrong Easter Offering), the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, direct support of missionaries John and Wanne Dine in Africa, and local outreach via Phoenix Eagles. Royal Palms does not publish attendance, giving, or budget figures, and there is no paid advertising; congregational growth is driven by community-led word-of-mouth, weekly services, midweek programs, and a structured newcomer pipeline.
