GETHSEMANE CHURCH

What GETHSEMANE CHURCH does

Gethsemane Church is an independent, non-denominational Bible-preaching church operating from a single campus at 600 State St., Pekin, Illinois. It serves families and individuals from Pekin, North Pekin, South Pekin, Tremont, Marquette Heights, East Peoria, Peoria, Morton, Manito, and surrounding Central Illinois communities. Its core weekly offering consists of Sunday School at 10:00 AM, Morning Service at 11:00 AM, Evening Service at 6:00 PM, and Wednesday Small Groups at 6:45 PM, with all preaching drawn from the King James Bible. Supporting ministries include a Bus Ministry that transports children to services, Club 3:16 for ages 6-12, Impact Youth Group for ages 13-18, a nursery for ages 0-5, ladies' and men's Bible studies, a church library, and a range of community outreach programs such as door-to-door visitation, Life Chain demonstrations, nursing home ministry, Seed the City gospel distribution, and Pathway Ministries serving the homeless in Peoria.

The church has no proprietary technology products. Its digital footprint is built on standard third-party services: Facebook and Rumble for livestreaming and sermon archiving, Tithely for secure online giving, and a website (tgc1611.org) hosting service information, ministries, sermons, events, and a downloadable bus consent form. The organization is led by Pastor Nathan Noyes, with Associate Pastor Brent Peak and a small staff of ministry coordinators covering worship, youth, children's ministry, the bus ministry, evangelism, and media.

The business model is entirely donation-based. Gethsemane Church operates as a private nonprofit with no parent company, no outside investors, and no disclosed funding rounds. Revenue is generated exclusively through voluntary tithes, offerings, and building fund contributions collected during services, by mail, in-person at the offering box, or via Tithely online. No service fees or pricing are applied to any church program; all ministries and services are free and open to the public. The organization has approximately 5 employees and no subsidiaries, distribution network, or enterprise sales motion.
