NORTHCHURCH

What NORTHCHURCH does

North Church (NORTH.CHURCH) is a multi-site, non-denominational Christian church founded in 2002 in Oklahoma City by Pastor Rodney and Shannon Fouts. The church operates across two primary Oklahoma campuses (OKC/Edmond and Guthrie) and runs weekly worship services inside two state correctional facilities (Lexington and John Lilley), an outreach site at the Adult and Teen Challenge Freedom House Women's Center in Checotah, and an international campus, Somos Church, in Santa Cruz, Bolivia (launched 2022). The organization serves congregants across all life stages through a structured ministry ecosystem that includes northKIDS (6 weeks to 4th grade), The MIX (5th-8th grade), NORTHSTUDENTS (6th-12th grade), North Groups (small groups), North Women, North Men, North Worship, North School of Ministry, and the Heart for His House community-outreach initiative.

The church's core product is weekly worship experience: four Sunday services and one Thursday evening service at the OKC/Edmond campus, two Sunday services plus Thursday evening at Guthrie, plus online streaming via northchurchok.online.church. Supporting programs include age-segmented discipleship, a recovery ministry in partnership with Freedom House, prison ministry with inmate-led pastors, and new outreach partnerships with Hope Center Ministries (homeless) and Lilyfield (foster care). Operational tooling is light and third-party-only: Pushpay powers online and mobile giving, supplemented by Venmo, Cash App, text-to-give, and envelope giving. A branded merchandise store sells apparel and faith resources at $3-$55.

Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary tithes and offerings from the congregation; the church does not publicly disclose financials. Monetization is donation-based rather than transactional, with no pricing model for services or programs. The church is currently mid-execution on its Build His Church capital project (2024-2026), which is adding a 1,800-seat auditorium and expanded northKIDS space to the OKC/Edmond facility, the largest infrastructure investment in its history. North Church is an independent, privately-held 501(c)-style non-profit under pastoral leadership, with no parent company, outside investors, or institutional ownership identified.
