August 2026
Celebrating what God has done. Stewarding what He has entrusted. Looking ahead to where He is leading.
The Kingdom Impact Report is not merely about bigger numbers. This report communicates lives being touched by the gospel, children hearing the name of Jesus, generosity flowing toward those who have never known His love, and people taking intentional steps to belong to the body of Christ. Every gift, every child, and every new partner is evidence that the Lord is still building His church—and inviting us to join Him.
When we celebrate these moments together, we are not just reporting activity. We are declaring that the mission of God is alive among us. We are reminding one another that ordinary faithfulness produces eternal fruit.

YTH Ministry:
Monumental Games brought together three churches: Ringgold, United Christian Fellowship, and Hollowell Church of the Brethren. After a fun day of games and competition, we ended with a Bible knowledge competition. Ringgold retained the title in a ferocious head-to-head between Teagan Tucker and Brooke Angle from United Christian Fellowship.
Splash and Flame was a fun evening with slip-and-slide kickball and an open-field slingshot water-balloon battle. We ended with worship and a lesson on the ACTS of prayer—Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication—led by our graduate Paislie Tucker. It was bittersweet, but she did a wonderful job. We love seeing God move in our young people. Paislie will be working with the 2nd and 3rd graders in our Kids Ministry. Disciples making disciples.
Nerf Wars was our last event of the summer before the fall kickoff on September 6.
We have two more husband-and-wife teams joining our volunteer rotation for the new school year.
Handiwork Ministry:
Volunteer – our numbers remain steady. We also have ladies that serve from home due to physical restrictions or are still employed.
Current Volunteer Numbers: 18
Volunteer Number Needed For Healthy Rotation: 10
Type of Volunteers Needed: volunteers needed to sew, knit, and crochet...we will instruct.
Prayer – continue prayer to be a cohesive group, continue to have the desire to serve in any way we can, but mainly that we stay ‘focus’ on what Jesus has led us to do.
CURRENT DREAM TEAM NEEDS:
This report is not just information—it is an invitation. We want to invite you to be a part of our dream team! Healthy ministry requires healthy rotation. If the Spirit has been nudging you, say yes. Below are immediate needs, but you can sign up to serve in other places as well.
Worship: Instrumentalists • Male Vocals • Sound Techs
Welcome Ministry: Greeters • Welcome Ministry Leaders
Kid + YTH Ministry: Severely in need of more volunteers to lead ministries, especially as we dive into the fall semester.
HOME Connect Group Leaders: As we launch into the FALL semester, we want to make sure there is a group for everyone. Would YOU be willing to lead a home group? We would love to have MARRIAGE, COLLEGE, MOM and DAD groups.

LETTER FROM PASTOR DON
Church Family,
One of the great joys of ministry is hearing from people whose lives are being impacted by God’s Word. In August, we have been reminded again of the importance—and the real impact—of supporting ministries beyond the walls of Ringgold: new church plants and missions around the world. The reach of biblical teaching extends far beyond what we can see on a Sunday morning. Your partnership is helping people encounter the Word of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ. God’s Word isn’t simply information to be learned. It is truth that shapes how we think, how we live, and how we follow Christ each day. And that is exactly why Ringgold and GC3 exist. Through every avenue of our shared ministry, people are gaining a deeper understanding of Scripture and growing stronger in their faith.
Yet there are still so many more who need that same encouragement:
- People searching for answers.
- People trying to understand God’s Word.
- People looking for hope and direction in a complicated world.
Who is your ONE?
This kind of kingdom work is only possible with your support. That is why your giving of time, talents, and treasures matters so much. It connects people to clear, verse-by-verse Bible teaching that points them to Jesus and helps them grow in their relationship with Him. Paul captured the heart of this partnership when he wrote:
“Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now.” — Philippians 1:3–5 (NLT)
Thank you for walking with us in this. Thank you for praying. Thank you for serving. Thank you for giving so that the gospel can keep going—across the street and around the world. I am grateful to serve alongside you.
With a full heart,
Don Conley
Lead Pastor
Ringgold + GC3 Church
