Our Story

Impact Assembly Outreach Center was born from a burden in the hearts of Eric and Monica Little: What would happen if the presence of the Church became so meaningful to a community that its absence would genuinely be felt?

 

Over the years, we have seen communities with numerous churches, sometimes even several congregations along the same street, yet too often there is limited collaboration across congregations and cultures and too little visible, tangible transformation in the surrounding community.

 

We believe the Church is called to be more than a place people attend. It should be a living expression of the love of Jesus Christ strengthening families, developing people, serving neighborhoods, building bridges across cultures, and bringing spiritual and practical transformation wherever God has planted it. Our desire is to help build a diverse, Kingdom-minded community where people from different ethnicities, generations, backgrounds, and life experiences can genuinely belong, grow, serve, and lead together.

 

This vision comes from experience as well as conviction. Together, we have pioneered two grassroots church plants: one in Orlando, Florida, where we served for approximately five years, and another in the Charlotte-area community, where we served for approximately three and a half years.

 

Impact Assembly Outreach Center represents a new chapter.

This time, we are stepping forward in North Carolina with a vision deeply rooted in our own hearts: to build a community of disciples and leaders whose presence spiritually enriches, practically strengthens, and lovingly engages the communities we serve.

 

We want to become the kind of church that doesn't merely exist in a community, but becomes an unmistakable blessing to that community. Rooted locally. Reaching the nations.
