Since its founding in January 2007, Impact Church has been committed to one thing: building and creating a multi-cultural gathering of people who are committed to sharing the love of Christ with the world.

Led by God with a passion to connect people with the love of Jesus Christ and with the support of the United Methodist Church, Lead Pastor Olu Brown conceived the vision of Impact Church. Committed to providing a forum for "doing church differently" and breaking the stereotypes of what church should be, the vision provides a place where creativity, technology, comfort and thinking outside the box are welcomed. This church works to meet people exactly where they are in Christ and for some, allows them to meet Christ for the very first time. Impact Church has more than 1500 weekly attendees for its two worship experiences, online live streaming and two children's experiences known as NxT-G.

The saying "crawl before you can walk" didn't exactly apply to Impact Church. Since January 2007, Impact has been taking steps of faith, growing and touching lives. Peering through the windows of Brown Middle School, Olu took one such step as Impact searched for worship space. Contrary to others' initial beliefs, he saw the school's auditorium as the perfect beginning for a multi-cultural gathering of people who would be committed to sharing the love of Christ with the world. Today, it is only natural that as the vision grows, the need for resources will also grow. God is revealing at this stage in the vision that Impact Church can reach thousands more people through permanent space. This space will not be temple of brick and mortar that is worshipped but a facility that reaches people from all walks of life through that love of Jesus Christ. It will enable Impact to continue to be a beacon of light and inspiration in the immediate community and across the globe.
