AI Summary
Founded in 1957 and identifying simply as "Simply Christians," the church emphasizes conservative, Bible-centered teaching with regular observance of the Lord's Supper and a community lunch followed by an afternoon service. It operates The Academy, a K–12 Christian school using the A.C.E. curriculum since the late 1970s; students participate in regional and international A.C.E. conventions, have won awards, and graduates are eligible for Nevada's Millennium Scholarship. Worship is streamed live and archived on Facebook and YouTube, and the congregation does not pass a collection plate during services. The church also hosts annual Jess Valley camps (youth July 5–10, 2026; a family camp over Labor Day weekend, with age, dress-code, and management details posted), supports international ministries (including a congregation in Nikopol, Ukraine and an Urdu radio ministry), and is ministered locally by John and Lisa Racine with additional preaching support such as evangelist Wayne Cobb.
