The Impact Movement envisions each community of African descent fulfilling its destiny as a reflection of the redemptive power of Jesus Christ.

Like in the Joseph story, we believe that the slavery, oppression and obstacles we have faced as a people, was meant for evil, but God is using it for the good, for the saving of many lives.

Impact began as a conference in 1991 to challenge African American college students to get involved in missions.

In the late ‘90s Impact began to develop campus ministries.

In 2002, Impact was established as a 501 (c) (3) organization and works in close partnership with Campus Crusade for Christ.

Music is a powerful force that can lead people to God or away from Him.

Our culture today is dominated by the influence of music, social media and video content.

Impact Music uses the power of the creative arts to point people to Christ

The first Impact Music Summer Mission took place in 2005.

Since then, Impact Music has formed bands each summer to reach people with the Gospel.

Through Impact Music thousands have been reached with the gospel and hundreds have given their lives to Christ as a result.

2010 Impact Music Leadership Team

Before tour travel, some of our spiritual growth takes place through Bible studies and mentorships…

Impact Music Summer Mission

We spend time in rehearsals and communication workshops where we learn how to use our personal stories to share the gospel…

Impact Music Summer Mission

And we get a Biblical perspective on topics like conflict resolution and much more!

After a time of training we go on tour to do outreach concerts.

The tour is designed to help us use our gifts to build God’s kingdom.

It also is an incredible time of personal growth.

In addition to music, people learn skills like setting up equipment and running sound.

We put on concerts to reach people in many different places people such as:

Church Outreaches and Picnics Summer Festivals Juvenile Detention Centers Military Bases and More!

Outreach at Detention CenterAn outreach concert at a detention center resulted in real conversations about God

After the gospel is presented we give people an opportunity to invite Christ into their lives.

We then pass out comment cards before the concert ends to get feedback and see who responded to the invitation.

Our ministry philosophy is more about building partnerships than booking concerts.

We have had the privilege of reaching out to incarcerated juveniles, homeless, and battered women’s shelters bringing Good News and hope to those who need it.

In each of those places, we make sure that the host has a plan in place to follow up those who give their lives to Christ.

We Build Partnerships…We Offer Hope

We develop “Musicianaries”

Musicians committed to missions

Since 2005, over 60 participants and staff leaders have served on Impact Music Summer Mission trips

This summer I hope to build upon that legacy…

Your partnership can make a difference
