TEAM CHURCH

What TEAM CHURCH does

Team Church is a 25-year-old multi-generational Christian church founded January 17, 1999 by Dr. Kenny Hibbard and his wife Kelly along with three other couples, headquartered at 2301 Stevens Mill Road in Matthews, North Carolina. The church operates a single primary campus hosting two Sunday worship services (9:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.) complemented by a full ministry portfolio spanning preschool (All-Stars), elementary (teamKID), middle and high school (Pursuit), adult Home Teams small groups, TC Way membership classes, baptism services, volunteer mobilization, and a multi-sport TC Sports program (soccer, pickleball, softball, summer camps). Its mission outreach is structured through the GO Outreach Ministry, which supports 14+ local mission partners in the Matthews/Charlotte metro and Union County, NC area plus two international partners (Cypress Project and Back2Back Monterrey, Mexico), and includes a recently launched church plant, Artisan City Church, in St. Petersburg, Florida.

The business and revenue model is donation-based: tithes and offerings flow through FellowshipOne (authenticated givers) and EasyTithe (one-time guest giving), supplemented by branded merchandise sales via an external storefront and modest participation fees for sports leagues ($40-$110 per player) and summer camps ($40-$50 per child). A separate NEXUS Building Campaign is collecting a 25-month pledge goal of $3,750,000 (running January 2024 through February 2026, with approximately $1 million already secured) to fund a 5,400 sq ft two-story facility, atrium expansion, kids' ministry renovation, sewer infrastructure, and a $135,000 missions allocation. Facility usage is offered to community groups and partnering ministries on a cost-recovery basis; weddings are free for members and funerals are hosted at no charge with honoraria paid to music and technology staff. The technology stack is entirely third-party: SnapPages (website), FellowshipOne/InFellowship (giving, events, small group finder, member accounts), EasyTithe (guest donations), SmartWaiver (release forms), SubSplash (sermon notes), YouTube and live.team.church (livestream and on-demand), and Google Calendar (event scheduling). The organization employs roughly 10-12 paid staff across pastoral, ministry director, financial administration, media production, and social media functions, plus a six-person uncompensated Lead Team of mature congregational leaders who provide governance and accountability.

Revenue model

1. Tithes and Offerings (Online Giving): Members and attendees give financially through online giving via Fellowship One (authenticated) and EasyTithe (guest/one-time). The church does not pass an offering plate during services, instead using offering boxes at the back of the auditorium and an iPod Kiosk in the atrium on Sunday mornings. Donors can also mail checks to the church address. Year-end giving statements are provided through InFellowship accounts.
2. NEXUS Capital Campaign: Team Church is running the NEXUS Building Campaign with a 25-month goal of $3,750,000 in cash/assets upfront and total pledges to be completed by January 2026. This funds a new 5,400 sq ft building ($3.11M), renovation of current kids ministry areas ($460,000), sewer system ($45,000), and 2024 missions ($135,000). The campaign accepts cash, stock, and gifts-in-kind, and is structured around year-end gifts (through December 31, 2023) and 25-month pledges (January 2024 – February 2026).
3. GO Outreach Ministry — Missions Giving: The church funds its GO Outreach Ministry (local and international missions) by directing the previous year's Year End Gift funds to mission partners in January. Congregants can give to YEG and general giving to support local missions partners (Matthews Help Center, Servants Heart of Mint Hill, Crisis Assistance Ministries, etc.) and international partners (Cypress Project, Back2Back Monterrey).
4. Merchandise Sales: Team Church sells branded merchandise (TC Merch) through an external storefront at thechurch.shop/shop/teamchurch/. Revenue from merchandise is secondary to tithes and offerings.
