Worshipping together is one of the core practices of the church. The worship team helps create a gracious and worshipful environment, and they lead the church into encounters with God through communal practices that form us spiritually, that proclaim God’s goodness to the hurting and the lost, and that bring God glory and honor. We are, as the old hymn says, “prone to wander,” and worship refocuses our vision and our hearts back to where they belong: on Jesus.
All Worship Team Members, from worship leaders to accompanists to folks leading prayers all commit themselves first to following Jesus and attending to their own spiritual growth. Bobby Jeffers is our Worship Team Leader.
At Impact, food is more than just physical sustainence. We follow Jesus and the apostles’ practice of sharing life together around a meal table, where strangers from all walks of life have the opportunity to connect and become friends. The Kitchen and Hospitality Team work together to provide good meals every Sunday for lunch, Wednesday for dinner, and for other events throughout the year.
Gerald Brooke is our Kitchen and Hospitality Team Leader.
Our team of committed prayer warriors brings the needs and requests of our community to the Lord. They also follow up with people who are sick or injured and those who have been going through difficult times. They also ensure that church leaders and shepherds are aware and praying for the specific needs of the congregation. In addition to their commitment to pray, prayer team members are also committed to strict confidentiality. No prayer request will be shared with the church prayer team without first receiving explicit permission from the person in need.
Karen Knight and Victoria George serve as our Prayer Team leaders.
Our goal for the IMPACT KIDS ministry is to equip children to know God’s love and to share God’s love with others. To that end, we create safe and fun learning environments where kids explore the Scriptures through story, creativity, and play. We also understand the value of community for our parents, so we encourage all parents of elementary-aged kids to participate in some way.
The safety and well-being of the children at Impact is our highest priority. The expectations for all teachers and assistants is high, because we believe that equipping and discipling children is one of the most important forms of Christian ministry.

When opportunities arise to connect and serve our neighbors, we are ready to respond. All church members will have opportunities to organize and put together community events and service projects throughout the year. By filling out our SERVE Team form, you can ensure that you’re notified when such opportunities arise.
If you’re looking for ways to get involved at Impact, you can fill out a SERVE Team form or reach out to the church office at office@impacttemple.com. Indicating interest in an area of service does not guarantee that you will be able to serve in exactly the way that you want, and some roles require additional applications and screening. But church leaders will work with you to try and help you find the unique areas of involvement that are right for you.
