C3 Church

What C3 Church does

C3 Church Atlanta is a religious non-profit organization headquartered at 1065 Walther Blvd., Lawrenceville, GA 30043, operating as part of the C3 Global network of more than 600 churches across 64 countries. The church delivers in-person Sunday worship services at 9:30 AM and 11:15 AM, supplemented by YouTube live and on-demand streaming under the @C3ChurchAtlanta channel, a dedicated children's ministry (C3 Kids, infants through 5th grade), and a student ministry (C3 Youth, middle and high school) that meets weekly on Monday nights and runs seasonal camps including WinterFest and SummerFest. The church is led by Senior Pastors Jeff and Sunny Kane, who also serve as Regional Overseers of C3 Americas, an indicator of broader network responsibility beyond the local campus.

Operationally, C3 Church runs on a community-led engagement model with a structured four-step Next Steps membership pathway (Welcome Party, doctrinal foundation, values/culture, formal membership) and Connect Groups organized through the Church Center mobile application (a MinistryCentered platform used for event registration, group signups, check-in, prayer requests, and a member directory). Online giving is processed through Tithe.ly, supporting one-time gifts, recurring generosity, and a separate "Vision Builders" capital/initiative stream, in addition to traditional check/mail giving. Community outreach is concentrated in an annual Serve Day that activates nine documented volunteer partnerships with local Gwinnett County organizations, including food pantries (Lawrenceville Co-op, Quinn House, North Gwinnett Co-op), senior living and assistance programs (Garden Plaza at Lawrenceville, Mending the Gap), and housing/furnishings partners (Family Promise, Habitat ReStore, Quinn House Thrift Store).

The revenue model is voluntary donation-based (tithes, offerings, online giving, and Vision Builders), with no products or services sold. C3 Church is privately held by the C3 Global parent network, with no disclosed funding rounds, no headcount figures, and no financial disclosures in the available source material, making traditional revenue/headcount triangulation impossible.
