Adventure Church

What Adventure Church does

Adventure Church is an independent, non-profit Christian church founded in 2013 and headquartered at 5191 Cornerstone Dr, Delaware, Ohio, led by Lead Pastors Kyle and Jess Hammond. The church delivers Sunday worship services in-person at 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM and streams live and archived services globally via its YouTube channel @AdventureChurchHome. It serves approximately 1,100 people in average weekend attendance through a horizontally segmented portfolio of ministry programs: Kidventure (children's ministry, birth through 5th grade), AC Youth (6th–12th grade student ministry), Life Groups (small group community), Dream Team volunteer serving teams, and a structured Discipleship Courses catalog covering Alpha, Freedom, Revelation, The Bible Simplified, The Holy Spirit, and Financial Peace University. The church also operates international mission trips to the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Guatemala, and delivers mental health resources through an external licensed counselor partnership.

The organization's underlying technology is modest and primarily off-the-shelf: the website is built on the SnapPages website builder, while registrations, event sign-ups, and giving are handled through the Planning Center Church Center platform, which supports online tithes, text-to-give, and mail-in contributions. There is no proprietary software, custom application, or API surface; no mobile app is published. Distribution runs through owned digital channels (website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, email) and physical channels (in-person services, Life Groups meeting in homes and facilities, mission trips).

Adventure Church's business model is a voluntary-contribution non-profit: there are no admission or service fees, and all revenue derives from tithes (encouraged at the biblical 10% of income) and free-will offerings from congregation members, collected via online giving, text-to-give, and mail on a recurring or pay-as-you-give basis. The church has no disclosed investors, parent company, funding rounds, or M&A activity, and financials are not publicly disclosed. Customer concentration is inherently diffuse across the congregation but, as is typical for mid-size churches, is likely materially influenced by a relatively small subset of high-tithing households.
