The Meeting House U.S.

What The Meeting House U.S. does

The Meeting House (TMH) is a multi-site Brethren in Christ church founded in 1912, operating three distinct worship venues across two physical locations in Carlisle and Dillsburg, Pennsylvania. The Carlisle campus at 1155 Walnut Bottom Road hosts the Sanctuary (traditional blended worship with organ, orchestra, and choir) and the Auditorium (modern high-energy worship with LED screens and moving lights); the Dillsburg campus at 1071 York Road offers a laid-back, family-friendly, contemporary service. All three venues hold Sunday services at 10:00 AM. The church is governed by a volunteer board (three-year terms, two-term limit) and led by Lead Pastor Bob Beaty alongside campus pastors and a small staff of approximately 8 paid employees, supported by extensive volunteer infrastructure including community-group leaders.

The Meeting House operates a Gather-Deepen-Go discipleship framework spanning Sunday gatherings, mid-week community groups (10-14 people meeting in homes), and local/global mission participation. Program offerings include TMH Kids (infants through 5th grade), TMH Youth (grades 6-12), Marriage Ministry (premarital preparation and enrichment), Men's and Women's ministries, Care Ministries (Benevolent Team, Stephen Ministry, GriefShare, Meals), Baptism preparation, Prayer Ministry, and the annual Camp Epic VBS. Digital engagement extends reach via live streaming on Facebook and YouTube, plus on-demand sermon archives on Vimeo (video) and Spotify (audio). Technology stack is standard SaaS for the faith sector: Church Community Builder (CCB) for member management, Pushpay for online giving, and SignUpGenius for volunteer coordination.

Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary tithes and offerings from the congregation, with no commercial product or fee-based model. The fiscal year runs July to June; year-to-date giving for FY 2025-26 (through end of May) was $2,254,203 against a YTD budget of $2,406,250, producing a $122,334 operating surplus. Additional revenue streams include the Christmas Give annual special offering (raised $220,500 in December 2025 for mission partners) and the Special Projects Program for capital initiatives, most notably a just-over-$600,000 HVAC replacement project at the Carlisle Auditorium and TMH Kids spaces, plus a $105,362 New Church Signs project. The church is affiliated with the Brethren in Christ denomination (nearly 250 U.S. congregations) and supports cross-cultural missionaries and local mission organizations including Wycliffe Bible Translators, YWAM, South America Mission, Community Cares, and BIC World Mission.

• Bayside Church: Multi-site church in Northern California with regional campuses and a strong family/children's ministry. Comparable multi-site architecture and broad-spectrum ministry programming.
• North Point Ministries: Large multi-site church based in Atlanta that pioneered the multi-venue, style-differentiated worship model The Meeting House has adopted. Useful as a reference point for how the multi-site strategy can scale at much larger attendance levels.
• Gateway Church: Multi-site church in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex with multiple worship venues and style differentiation across campuses. Useful for understanding scale implications of the differentiated-venue approach.
• Summit Church: Multi-site church in the Research Triangle area of NC with multiple regional campuses and a strong missions and family ministry emphasis. Comparable in ministry structure and mission-giving DNA to The Meeting House.
• Seacoast Church: Multi-site church in the Charleston, SC region with several regional campuses and a strong community-groups discipleship model analogous to TMH's Community Groups.
• Church of the Highlands: Large multi-site church in Alabama with a multi-venue worship model and a strong focus on small groups and next-generation ministry. Comparable in model design (multiple worship styles, community groups, kids/youth programming) though at much greater scale.
• Saddleback Church: Historically significant multi-site church with regional campuses and a comprehensive small-group discipleship system comparable to TMH's Community Groups structure. Useful for understanding scale-up of small-group-based discipleship.
