Carson Valley Christian Center launched its first worship service in February of 1998. Supported by two large churches in Southern California, a region of American Baptists in Northern California & Nevada, and a number of individuals, the church has become a model for planting a "High Impact Church". Over 1,800 people now attend worship each weekend with hundreds more involved in a range of weekly activities including a full martial arts and dance program as part of over 30 separate ministries. The church is located on 39 acres of land conveniently located halfway between mid-town Carson City and downtown Minden/Gardnerville. An amazing aspect of this reality is that only 100,000 people live within 30 miles of the church and only 5% attend church on a given weekend.
