Vintage Church

What Vintage Church does

Vintage Church is a non-profit religious organization founded in 2002 in Raleigh, North Carolina, operating as a multi-site church across four campuses in the Research Triangle region: Downtown Raleigh, Durham, North Raleigh, and Chapel Hill/Carrboro (opened September 2022). It serves a multi-ethnic congregation through age-segmented programs for kids, students, college-age, and post-college adults, alongside marriage ministry, recovery support, and small-group community structures. An interim lead pastor (Shaun Cross) is currently listed, indicating an active leadership transition.

The organization runs a digital and community infrastructure that includes sermon and media delivery through Subsplash, congregant data management through Fellowship One, live streaming on YouTube and Facebook, and internal coordination on Slack and Google Forms. It operates a Nonprofit Incubator program to develop external nonprofits and maintains a network of 20+ community partnerships supporting food drives, outreach, and seasonal events. Real estate includes a downtown Raleigh property acquired in 2014, and the organization funds capital and operating needs through a 'We're Listening' pastoral care initiative and donations-driven fundraising.

Vintage Church is funded primarily through voluntary tithing and donations from its congregation, with no commercial pricing, product revenue, or public financial disclosures. The operation employs roughly 30+ named staff across pastoral, program, and operational roles, consistent with a mid-sized multi-site church. Revenue is wholly donation-dependent and geographically concentrated in the Research Triangle metro, and the absence of disclosed financials is itself a salient characteristic for any external financial diligence.
