Dear Friends, we have made the decision to close Pinnacle Church. This choice was not made lightly; it follows a period of deep prayer, reflection, and careful evaluation of where we stand today and what’s ahead—not only for the church but also for us personally.
From the start, we knew without a doubt that God called us to plant this church. Every step of the journey, He has provided, and are convinced that nothing was wasted. Through your support, we’ve seen God use Pinnacle Church to make a lasting impact in people’s lives and throughout the community. Although this news is difficult to share, we believe that the faith we needed to begin well, is the same faith needed to end well. Rest assured, this decision does not stem from any kind of moral failing or issue; instead, this season of reflection has brought a sense of clarity and peace. We believe that stepping away from this chapter is what’s right for our family, our team, and the ministry itself.
Our donation portal will remain open until the end of the year, so if you need time to transition your giving, you’ll still be able to contribute in the meantime. However, we encourage you to consider moving your giving to other organizations as you feel led. If you would like to, you could continue your giving with our global partners Nolan & Hannah, there is a link in this email to their website. The Pinnacle Church website will continue accepting donations until December 31st, 2024. You will also receive a donation statement for tax purposes in the month of January 2025 for the tax year of 2024.
Finally, on behalf of myself, Kala, and our boys, I cannot fully express how thankful we are for you. Your financial support, continual prayers, and commitment have been invaluable to us and the people of Middle Tennessee we’ve been able to serve. This journey would not have been possible without you, and we hold immense gratitude for this season and what it has meant for God’s Kingdom.
This past weekend, we held our last public service. For those of you wondering what’s next, we don’t have a clear answer yet, but we’re focused on handling this transition with care and working to support our community through this change.
Thank you for your understanding, and above all, thank you for standing with us. We look forward to whatever God has in store and hope you’ll keep us in your prayers as we move forward.
With deep gratitude,
Nathan Sipple
