The Breeze Church

What The Breeze Church does

The Breeze Church is a non-profit Christian church operating two physical campuses in Southwest Florida — the original site at 7101 Bayshore Rd., North Fort Myers, and a second campus launched in 2025 at 717 Skyline Blvd., Cape Coral. The church delivers multi-generational ministry through a portfolio of demographic-segmented programs branded under the Breeze sub-brand umbrella: Breeze Kids (birth through 5th grade), Breeze Youth (6th-12th grade), Breeze Young Adults (18-29), Breeze Men, Breeze Girl (women), Breeze Preschool, and Breeze Groups (community small groups). Supporting programs include a Culture Course orientation, water baptism, prayer and fasting resources, and missions/outreach initiatives. Services are held on Sundays (9:00am and 11:00am in North Fort Myers; 10:30am in Cape Coral) and Wednesdays at 7:00pm, with American Sign Language interpretation at the North Fort Myers 9:00am and Wednesday services. The church is led by Lead Pastor Blake Hanson (appointed March 5, 2023) and Ministry Director Brittany Hanson, with a staff of approximately 51 employees across pastoral, administrative, worship/creative arts, care/counseling, children's ministry, finance, and design functions. The church operates under the Faith Assembly parent-network affiliation and branding.

The church's technology stack is composed entirely of third-party SaaS tools rather than proprietary systems: Shelby Giving for online tithes and offerings, Church Center (Planning Center) for event registration, connect cards, and prayer requests, online.church for live streaming, YouTube for on-demand video, Apple Podcasts for the Sunday AM Faith Media podcast, and Squarespace as the website CMS. No proprietary software, APIs, AI/ML systems, or data products are developed or owned by the organization.

Revenue is generated exclusively through voluntary donations and tithes from congregation members, collected via the Shelby Giving online platform, in-service giving, and special offerings. All services and programs are free to attendees. The church is governed as a private non-profit religious organization with no public listing, no venture or institutional investors, no parent holding company beyond the Faith Assembly network affiliation, and no disclosed financial statements in the available data. Marketing and member acquisition rely on a community-led motion spanning in-person outreach, organic social media (Instagram handles for each sub-brand and for Pastor Blake Hanson), events, and word-of-mouth through existing members, with onboarding funneled through Connect Cards, Prayer + Praise Cards, and the Culture Course orientation.
