Impact Church is a church plant rooted in the heart of Northeast Nevada. We’re a growing church made up of everyday people — miners, teachers, families, business owners — who believe God is actively working in our community, and that we’re called to be part of it.
Whether you’ve lived here your whole life or just arrived, we believe Jesus meets people exactly where they are. Our mission is to help lead people into real, life-changing relationships with Him — and to multiply that impact through discipleship, service, and love.
Tim and Janet Lee Royal share how God led them to plant Impact Church in Elko County — a place they love and believe God is moving in powerfully. What began with prayer and small gatherings has grown into a Christ-centered community committed to truth, relationship, and transformation.

He currently serves on the board of Friends in Service Helping (FISH) in Elko. With more than 30 years of ministry experience, Tim is passionate about teaching the Word, evangelizing the lost, and equipping believers for kingdom work.
Janet Lee holds a degree in Business Administration and studied theology at Gateway Seminary. She’s a trained counselor, certified in multiple areas of ministry care, and has spent decades leading worship, mentoring women, and developing discipleship programs. Her leadership helps shape the culture of Impact — marked by prayer, hospitality, and spiritual depth.
Together, Tim and Janet Lee are also active in the foster care system and serve on the board of their local association. Although they both grew up in California, they say without hesitation that Elko is their home and calling.
Impact Church began in their living room — born out of prayer, community desire, and a clear calling from God. Their desire is not just to build a church, but to help raise up believers who are actively living out their faith in everyday life — walking in obedience, serving with humility, and pointing others to Jesus.
“People leading people into a life impacting relationship with Jesus.”
