ABOUT US
Who We Are
Impact was originally a cell group started in June 2004 in Pasadena by Jack and Annie. In August 2005 Pastor Liu Tong, Sr. Pastor of River of Life Christian Church in San Jose, envisioned the needs for young people to have a different style of church; he then decided to support Impact in becoming a youth church in LA. Through God’s love and grace, Impact is called to minister to this generation in the San Gabriel Valley area. Since then Impact Harvest Church has been sharing Jesus Christ to a Multi-cultural generation of high school, college students and young adults.
God has given us an assignment. A Christian life is one huge life of impossibility. We have been called by God to invade the impossible.
