About Impact Church

We are a church centered around helping people take the next step in their relationship with Jesus.

From the beginning, our heartbeat has been to reach un- and de-churched people through following the Great Commandment and the Great Commission. We believe those two teachings of Jesus should drive the purpose for our every waking moment.

We have planted 24 churches in the last 16 years and helped fund countless others outside our “Greenhouse Network” (the network of churches planted out of Impact over the years that meets each month).
