Impact Ministries is dedicated to building a strong foundation of discipleship in Christ Jesus so that the church may be fortified with disciplined, knowledgeable believers who are dedicated to living out Godly principles as ambassadors of the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth.  

Dr. Samuel D. Tootle III

Dr. Tootle embarked on his journey with Impact Ministries over two decades ago, initially as a small gathering of faith-driven friends, meeting weekly in their homes to study the Bible. In response to the pressing needs of Las Vegas' homeless community, Pastor Tootle felt compelled to initiate an outreach ministry, offering meals and essential support to those in crisis. Over time, this outreach program expanded its reach, becoming a cornerstone of assistance for not only homeless teenagers and families in distress but also a catalyst for other nonprofits and churches aligned with a compassionate mission.

While outreach efforts remained steadfast for Impact Ministries, Dr. Tootle's unwavering commitment to teaching and preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ has remained at the forefront. Guiding a dedicated congregation of believers, he led Impact Ministries through remarkable growth, evolving from humble in-home Bible studies and outreach activities to establishing a doctoral research center dedicated to generational discipleship. His support extended to local pastors, assisting them in building robust ministerial programs capable of reaching diverse groups of believers, establishing himself as an invaluable resource for aspiring ministers of the Gospel.
Throughout the challenges posed by the pandemic, Impact Ministries demonstrated resilience by maintaining the same scholarly rigor in online Bible studies and prayer services as in-person gatherings while also continuing to serve Las Vegas' urban community with essential resources, all for the glory of God!

In recent years, Impact Ministries has continued to evolve. It has shifted its focus toward addressing the resource needs of the urban community, notably by adopting a Title I high school, providing practical support to economically disadvantaged students and families in crisis. The ministry's dedication to homeless teens persists through resource donations and targeted survival essentials drives. Dr. Tootle’s influence has expanded into consultative support for churches and ministries seeking to enhance their discipleship efforts. His course on discipleship 101, taught at West Coast Bible College, is just one facet of his multifaceted contributions. Building upon his research on Millennial Drift, Dr. Tootle has expanded his work to encompass a comprehensive manuscript on love and discipleship, which is currently pending copyright and publication.

Discipleship is a process whereby a believer is in the process of becoming a complete and competent follower of Jesus Christ. It is about the intentional training of people who voluntarily submit to the Lordship of Christ and who want to become imitators of Him in every thought, word, and deed. 

About Us

Impact Ministries is focused on Biblical discipleship 

Welcome to Impact Ministries, a vibrant fellowship of dedicated believers passionately committed to the teachings of Jesus Christ and the profound call to love and care for one another. We gather regularly online, creating a safe and inclusive environment for everyone, including those among us with medical risks. Through our virtual meetings, we delve into the depths of the Bible, unite our hearts in prayer, uplift one another in faith, and extend practical support to those facing life's challenges.

Periodically, we also come together for in-person fellowship in a manner that prioritizes the well-being of all members, particularly those with medical concerns. At Impact Ministries, we are a community of faith, purpose, and service, dedicated to making a positive impact on lives through the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Our journey began as a humble Bible study and outreach initiative in 2001, originating from the Tootle family home. In 2008, we took a significant step forward by incorporating as an official ministry. Over the ensuing decade, our leader, Pastor Tootle, pursued advanced degrees in theology, culminating in an extensive doctoral research study.
This comprehensive research was dedicated to understanding the experiences and interactions of millennial believers, with a specific focus on identifying the most effective communication and mentoring strategies for nurturing young adults in their faith.

Armed with the profound insights gained from this research, Dr. Tootle continues to foster the spiritual growth of young adults within our fellowship. This growth is cultivated through the deep and trusted relationships built over time. Through our online platform, Dr. Tootle has expanded Impact Ministries into a valuable seminary-level resource for church leaders and emerging ministers alike, all while steadfastly supporting the spiritual development of our congregation.

At Impact Ministries, we aspire to make a lasting impact on the lives of believers and seekers alike. We invite you to join us on this transformative journey, as we navigate the profound teachings of the Bible and the boundless love of Jesus Christ. Together, we are a community of faith, purpose, and service.
