MPACT Ministries of Central Florida was founded in 1998 by Chad Garmon after seeing a need to give youth an opportunity to work right in their own community. Chad had worked with many hurting people in many different places but never in his own hometown. After realizing that the main reason for this was the absence of any type of home repair program for youth; IMPACT was born. Since then Impact has grown to offer mission opportunities during both the spring and summer months. Now youth from across the United States come to be of service for our Lord in one of the greatest vacation spots in the world. IMPACT’s main purpose is to give young people an avenue to fulfill God’s Great Commission by putting their faith into action through serving the local community with minor home repair. Impact gives an opportunity for individual lives to be changed through Christian service activities. Youth at Impact work with hurting people who need to see the love and light that only Jesus can bring to their lives. IMPACT was born as an outreach of Sanlando UMC in Longwood, Florida. We have provided mission opportunities to many different churches and denominations making us truly interdenominational organization. For more information: www.impactflorida.org
