FAQs
Impact is how we put love into action—through strategic partnerships, community service, and global outreach. It’s our way of “going first” to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of our neighbors locally and around the world.
“Go First” is our calling to lead with love. We aim to be the first to show up when help is needed, reflecting Jesus by serving others before being asked, without hesitation or condition.
Everyone! Whether you’re new to our church, part of a Circle group, or serving with your family, there’s a place for you. Most events are open to all ages, and some projects are tailored to specific groups (kids, students, adults, families).
Impact offers both one-time and ongoing ways to serve, including meal packing, kit building, hosting drives, writing notes of encouragement, supporting our 23 local partners, and joining international trips.

In 2025, we’re aiming to:

We partner with 12 missionaries and multiple global communities. This year, we’re focusing on Algodon in the Dominican Republic—sending 2–3 teams to build beds, provide food, and deepen relationships. We’re also supporting relief efforts in Ghana, Tennessee, and LA.
You can give financially through our Donate page or provide needed supplies like hygiene kits, school supplies, or gift cards. We update our donation needs regularly based on partner requests.
The Lodge is San Diego’s first hotel-turned-transitional housing facility for youth. We’ve adopted it as a local Impact focus—providing meals, supplies, and presence as we walk alongside young people transitioning out of homelessness.
Yes! We encourage every Circle group to serve together quarterly. We’ll provide project ideas, partnerships, and support so your group can Go First together.
