A New Journey Begins...

After 7 great years of planting and pastoring Bridges of Hope Fellowship in McMinnville, Tennessee, God closed one door of ministry and has opened another.  Sunday, October 13th was the last day with our Bridges of Hope family.  Our church family celebrated God's faithfulness and then they commissioned my family to be sent out to plant a new church in the Roane County, Tennessee area. That's right!  I can hardly believe it myself.  So, our family took the next week off to rest and enjoy some time in Pigeon Forge before the new journey began.  After returning home, we began searching for a place to live in Kingston.  Over the next three weeks, we would find a small duplex, load up the truck and move.  Natalie is in the process of trying to get a job to help out while I plant the church.  I am open and available to preach for pulpit supply, revivals, special one day evangelistic emphasis, etc. Feel free to give me a call at 931-808-8866.

The new journey is the planting of Impact Church.  Roane County has a population of 54,181 people, of which 31,208 have no relationship to God or a local church.  Not only that, but 400 people will die lost without Christ over a three day period of time.  The task is urgent and lives are in the balance of eternity.  We MUST get the message out and tell the world the Good News...the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We are excited to get to work on this new endeavor as we meet people and begin pulling together a

core group of people to launch this new church on Sunday, April 13, 2014.  Since moving to Kingston, we've secured a website (www.ImpactChurchTN.com), a Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/impactchurchtn), and a twitter profile (www.Twitter.com/impactchurchtn).   I hope you'll take the time to connect with us through all three of these social media platforms to keep up with what's happening at Impact Church.

Many have asked what we need right now.  So, here are a few ways you can help us.

1.  Join the Impact Prayer Team by emailing us your name and email address.  You'll receive a weekly email with our urgent requests concerning the plant and our family.

2.  Become an Impact Partner by supporting the church financially for 1 year.  You can give a monthly gift or a one time gift that is tax deductible.  A partner could be an individual, family, Sunday School Class, Life Group, or a church.  Send your gifts to: Impact Church, P.O. Box 1057, Kingston, TN 37763.

3.  Join the Launch Team (Core Group) as a missionary to help launch the new church for a specified or unspecified period of time.
