STEVEN FURTICK
Steven grew up in the small town of Moncks Corner, South Carolina where at age 16 he realized God’s plan for him to start a life-changing church in a major metropolitan city. This vision became a tangible reality when Steven and 7 other families risked everything – sold houses, quit jobs and moved to Charlotte, North Carolina to plant a new church – believing that God would turn the city upside down for His glory. That risk birthed Elevation Church and has resulted in a remarkable return. Through God’s favor and a relentless pursuit of a singular mission to see people far from God filled with life in Christ, in just four years, Elevation has seen thousands of professions of faith and grown to more than 6,000 in weekly attendance. Because of this explosive growth, Elevation Church was named one of the 10 fastest growing churches in America by Outreach Magazine in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Author of Sun Stand Still, the heart of Steven’s message is revolutionary faith and how to approach every experience from a visionary perspective. As a young voice in the Church with wisdom beyond his years, his passion for seeing God’s purposes fulfilled in our day is igniting a fire in the city of Charlotte and throughout the United States. Steven holds a degree in communication from North Greenville University, and the Master Divinity degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He lives in the Charlotte area with his wife, Holly, their two sons Elijah and Graham, with a baby on the way.
