This week, we’re sitting down with Jasmine, co-leader of Catalyst High School Youth Connect Group, for an honest and inspiring conversation about her journey, how she discovered her calling to make an impact, and what it really looks like to lead and invest in today’s youth.

If you have a high school-aged student, you do NOT want to miss this episode!

But even if you don’t, tune in anyway, Jasmine’s story is pretty incredible, and her heart for young people is contagious.

And, of course… we all love Ms. Judy! ❤️

Come for the conversation, stay for the wisdom, encouragement, and reminder that what we pour into the next generation matters.

She works hard to make sure our Connect Groups and Serve Teams have the resources, communication, and support they need to thrive. She is someone who faithfully steps in, takes care of the details, and helps make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

Most importantly, Brittney loves the Lord and has a genuine heart for His people. Her faithfulness, willingness to serve, and commitment to Impact make her an incredibly important part of our team. We are so grateful for all she brings to Impact and for the way she uses her gifts to help others grow, connect, and serve.

Let's meet Brittney Nickell, Church Admin

Now, God has opened a door we never could have opened ourselves—a building to call home.

While we’re incredibly grateful for this gift, the building needs significant renovations before it can become a place where people can experience the love of Christ. We need to replace flooring, paint walls, renovate bathrooms, update sound and technology, complete construction projects, repair the HVAC system, purchase seating, and create safe, welcoming spaces for every person who walks through our doors.

Our goal is to raise $175,000.

This isn’t about building a nicer church. It’s about creating an environment that removes distractions so people can clearly see Jesus.

Throughout Scripture, we see that excellence honors God. Whether it was Noah building the ark, Solomon constructing the temple, or the believers giving generously to meet the needs of the church, God’s people have always brought Him their very best.

We believe every child deserves a safe place to learn about Jesus. Every family deserves to walk into a welcoming environment. Every guest deserves to know they matter from the moment they pull into the parking lot.

This building isn’t about us—it’s about the generations who will come after us.

Every gift, whether large or small, is an investment in changed lives. Together, we can build something that reflects the excellence of the God we serve and creates a place where people will encounter His presence for years to come.

Thank you for believing in the vision. Thank you for helping us build with excellence.

Together, let’s create a place where hope has a home.

Have you ever wondered if what you do—especially when no one notices—really matters? In this episode, we dive into the beauty of serving faithfully behind the scenes.

We look at the story of the Queen of Sheba and Solomon (1 Kings 10:1–9)—how she came to test Solomon’s wisdom, but what truly amazed her wasn’t just his words. It was the excellence of the servants, the organization, and the unseen details that reflected God’s glory.

From the craftsmen who built the Tabernacle to the wall builders in Nehemiah’s day, we’re reminded that God values every faithful act, no matter how hidden.

It is shared how this connects to our own experiences working in tech and setup—where cables, cameras, and livestream settings might go unnoticed, but each detail helps create a space for worship.

We also talk about the impact worship music has on our emotional well-being. The songs we listen to shape our thoughts, our sense of self-worth, and even the atmosphere of our homes. From finding peace in the middle of anxiety to passing on positivity to our kids, worship music transforms ordinary moments into reminders of God’s presence. Whether it’s singing on the way to work, hearing your child lift up a song of faith, or even changing lyrics before a soccer game, praise has the power to shift our perspective and fill our days with joy.

Tune in and discover how worship can become both your weapon and your anchor—filling your heart, strengthening your faith, and shaping the next generation.

This week, Pastor Kendon Alexander and his wife, Stephanie, join us for a fun and joy-filled conversation!

They laugh a lot as they share some behind-the-scenes stories about Impact, plus give us a closer look at the connect groups you can plug into.

So grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and tune in for Episode 2 of the ImpactPodcast—where faith, family, and fun all come together. ☕
