Let The Celebration Begin!

It's been a year ago since we officially gathered a couple of people to walk alongside of us in this NEW journey of church planting.

Over the last year, my family and I have worked hard to get out in the community, get to know the community again, and serve the community with the love of God.  As we did, we shared the vision that God has given us for a new church planting movement based out of Kingston through the planting of Impact Church.  One by one, individuals and families began joining the vision.  We started meeting on Sundays in February 2014 for our Core Group worship and then meeting on Wednesday nights for our Core Group training and equipping sessions.  Throughout the year, we spent lots of time, energy, and resources reaching out to our community through serving projects, sports camps/clinics, Backyard Bible Clubs, VBS, door to door canvassing, partnerships with the local schools, etc.

It's been a long, hard, but fun and rewarding year as we've watched God perform miracle after miracle and life change after life change.  We ended the year with 37 people having gone from darkness to light as they surrendered their lives to follow Jesus Christ.  We saw 8 people walk through the baptismal waters as they went public with their faith.  Praise the Lord!

Now is the time to "officially" launch Impact Church in full force to the Kingston and Roane County area.  Our teams are in place, excitement is high, and we are praying like crazy for God to Impact Kingston and the world through the ministry of Impact Church!  This Sunday, January 25th is our official "Grand Opening" and we are believing God to show up and display His marvelous power and glory in our midst.  We would love for you to bring a friend and join us, if you can.  We start serving coffee, juice, water, and snacks at 10 a.m. (EST) and the celebration begins at 10:30 a.m.

In celebration, I'll be kicking off a new sermon series entitled, "MISSION: Impact."  In this series, we'll be breaking down the mission of Christ for every believer and more specifically, Impact Church.

If you can't attend, please pray for us that many lives will be changed for the glory of God.  I will be sure to update you as to the move of God in our midst.  Thanks for all of your support!
