THE IMPACT CHURCH STORY

In 2008, a group of 36 people began meeting in a garage with the hope of planting a church where people could truly learn to follow Jesus and reach their full potential in Christ. Shortly after, Impact Church was launched.

In March 2017, Pastor Jason was invited to become the Lead Pastor of Impact Church, and it has been exciting to see all that God has done since then. Soon, a second service was added—and eventually a third—to accommodate the growing numbers. Along the way, Impact has seen marriages restored, addictions broken, lives changed, and hundreds commit their lives to Christ, making their decision public through baptism.

Today, more than a thousand people from many different backgrounds call Impact Church home. Through inspiring worship services, Bible-based teaching, authentic small groups, and generous service both inside and outside the church, Impact is reaching the community with the hope of Christ. Whether you’re new to church, have been a Christian for many years, or are looking for a fresh start—you’re welcome here. God is still writing our story, and we would love for you to be part of it!
