Welcome to Gospel Advancement
Gary Stover
Gospel Advancement Director
Gospel Advancement was developed in 2022 to align our church’s vision for local and global missions, church planting, and outreach. Gospel Advancement encompasses local outreach through our community center, LV Reach. It is also inclusive of international short-term mission trips, support for missionaries on the field, and our Awaken Discipleship and Training Center in La Gloria, Mexico, designated to equip church planters. Our purpose is to reach our community and the world through the furtherance of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Join us as we are a community Jesus followers who WORSHIP God, GROW as disciples, and REACH Las Vegas and the world with the gospel.

LV Reach
LV Reach is a community resource center for the purpose of helping and healing our inner cities of Las Vegas through educational, medical, legal, and nutritional assistance.
Missions
Our missions ministry offers short-term mission trips, trains missionaries, and supports mission work all over the world.
Church Planting
Awaken Las Vegas will soon offer a program called Church Planting Collective which is a 12-week series of classes, once-a-week geared toward those who are seeking God’s will for their life. Prospective church planting team members can then apply for the “Experience” which is a 7-month internship, which gives a first-hand opportunity to be a part of church planting. “Launch” is for the person ready to be sent out as a church planter. This program is also utilized in all of the areas we are working in worldwide.
World Vision
Awaken Las Vegas is an affiliate of World Vision, a global Christian humanitarian organization, providing numerous resources to the low-income neighborhoods of Las Vegas and church and ministry partners
Mercy Relief
Mercy Relief is Awaken Las Vegas’s rapid response initiative, mobilizing resources and volunteers to provide immediate assistance during natural disasters and crises worldwide. Our mission is to extend God’s love through practical support, emergency aid, and spiritual comfort.
