God Is Just Gettin’ Started
Every number matters. Why? Because everyone ONE matters.
Numbers are important because they help show where we’ve been and where we’re going. It helps us take the time to reflect on all God is doing. Numbers are reasons to celebrate and reasons for gratitude. Numbers matter because YOU matter and you’re one of the many who call Mountaintop home. You’re one of the many who make a difference in BHM and beyond. You’re one of the many who gave generously to ensure that generations to come will get to know Jesus.
Thank you for an incredible 2024!

A Word of Thanks From Pinnacle Church
We are beyond grateful for your generous support—it truly means the world to us. Because of donations like yours, we have been able to allocate $263,023.45 toward flood relief efforts.
Here’s how those funds have made an impact:
- $106,500 went directly to 213 students and Haywood County School faculty and staff affected by the flood.
- The remaining funds have supported flood victims through providing building supplies, heating sources, appliances, and essential supplies to help them move back into their homes.
- 27 families have been directly impacted by your giving.
- We have also used funds to provide food for flood victims and volunteers.
- 112 children in Haywood County experience a wonderful Christmas. In partnership with our church community, we were able to purchase $4,626.02 worth of clothing and gifts for children from birth to age 17.
Your generosity has made a tangible difference in the lives of so many. Here are just a few words of gratitude from those you’ve blessed:
“Because of your giving, we were able to bless so many people in our community. One family is already back in their home instead of spending the winter in a trailer. I have seen people regain a sense of normalcy and hope on the horizon—all because of your kindness. This is our county’s fourth major flood, but this time, we have felt immense love and support from churches like yours. Thank you for making a lasting impact.” – Erica Stamey, Community Director, Pinnacle Church
“Thank you for all you have done for our community. Our families and staff deeply appreciate the support you have given us. We were able to provide presents to families, bringing smiles and happy tears. You have no idea the impact your church has made.” – Lindsay Moore, School Counselor, NCE
“We cannot thank you enough for your generous donation to our schools. These funds will continue to help our families throughout the recovery process. Your presence and support mean more than words can express.” – Haywood County Schools Foundation
“Thank you from all of us at Legacy Dance Center. Your generous donations, support, and prayers mean so much in these challenging times.” – Legacy Dance Center Staff & Students

Kids Pastor
It has been an absolute privilege to be a part of what God is doing in Mountaintop Kids. We have seen God entrust more and more kids to us in 2024. As we experienced this growth, it pushed us to add 56 new volunteers to the team. We now have over 250 volunteers who invest their time, energy, and gifts to be a part of shaping the faith of the next generation. It’s pretty incredible! The generosity of our church allowed us to create great events like Family Game Night, VBS and Jingle Jam that helped us further our mission to Invite and Equip our families to follow Jesus.
As we step into 2025, we could not be more thrilled to have more space to be FOR FAMILIES. The Grand Opening was a day I’ll never forget, seeing almost 350 kids come into a space where I knew that they would experience the presence of Jesus by the way our amazing team of staff and volunteers loved and cared for them. I am so grateful to be a part of a church that is passionate about reaching the next generation. I cannot wait to see what the rest of 2025 holds!!
FOR FAMILIES | The Page Family
We FOR FAMILIES because one more changed family can shape a generation. The Page Family – Kevin, Andi, and Braden – generously shared their story of life-change with us.
“It’s so cool to know that I wasn’t given up on…by family, by friends, and in my spiritual life with Jesus. I wasn’t given up on.” – Braden Page
Braden is a high school student who not only felt far from God, but questioned whether he even believed in Him. His parents stood by him, hoping one day he would feel the love of Jesus. And then he did.
“They have brought my child to God. My child now knows Christ through them. That to me is a gift I can’t repay.” – Andi Page
See what a journey with Jesus looks like for the Page Family and how investing in the Next Generation matters.
“It is inspiring to know that the church is committing and giving so much to the youth, and so much time and energy and effort. It’s been great to see that he’s found that home.” – Kevin Page
Students
Josh Power
Student Pastor
2024 was an incredible year for Mountaintop Student Ministries. We launched a middle school ministry that is thriving. We carried our largest attendance in both Fall Retreat and Xchange Nights. And we saw countless students make decisions to follow Jesus, to get baptized, and to get connected to what God is doing in Mountaintop Student Ministries.
As 2025 continues to get started, we’re excited for new opportunities, new ideas, and new connecting points with parents. We’re creating opportunities for students to be a part of the mission that we believe God has placed in front of us; to Invite and Equip students to follow Jesus. We’re leaning into – more than ever – our students and getting fresh ideas and vision for how to connect with them and their peers. And we’re creating connecting points with parents to better partner with them in the discipleship of their students. God’s already been moving, but we believe the best is yet to come!
