jun
We had our first annual Church Camping Trip. We had 40 people camp with us, with over 60 people join us for church and baptisms on the beach at Lake Topaz Sunday Morning.
oct
We had a young man who had recently committed to following Jesus decide to get baptized up at Lake Tahoe. We had about 20 people join us on the beach and bear witness to his public declaration to follow Jesus!
nov
Our toy hauler sprung a leak and we had to find a new place for our kids to be able to meet. Over Thanksgiving weekend several people got together and built a new space on the property for the kids. This was a huge blessing, we wouldn’t have been able to minister to our littles for the last 3 months with out it!
ministry partners
F.I.S.H.
We continue to partner with FISH, regularly giving 10% of our monthly tithes and offerings to help with the ministry they do in our community and we will continue this partnership once we are in our own space.
7 weeks
Additionally, we have added another ministry partnership. This year we have switched coffee suppliers in order to support Christian Pregnancy centers. 7 Weeks Coffee sends a monthly donation to pregnancy centers offering ultrasounds, options, and education for women facing uncertain circumstances during their pregnancy. Our first order went directly to help support “Life Choices Pregnancy Center” in Carson City. Subsequent orders are distributed each month to a different Christian Pregnancy Center in our Nation. You can learn more about them here: https://sevenweekscoffee.com/
looking forward
new space
In March, God provided an opportunity to lease a new building space. As you may know, our current space has been a huge blessing, but has been a challenge when it comes to ministering to families with young children. The new space will provide an opportunity for our children’s ministry not only to grow but to thrive. As of right now, we are expectantly and prayerfully awaiting a move-in date this Spring.
thank you
We are so thankful for your continued generosity, support, and prayer. It is truly impacting the lives of people here in Gardnerville, Minden, and Carson City. We look forward to all that God has for us in this coming year!
