Steven Furtick

Pastor Steven grew up in Moncks Corner, South Carolina where at age 16 he realized God’s plan for him to start a life-changing church in a metropolitan city.
This vision became a tangible reality when Elevation was founded on the faith of 8 families who risked everything - sold houses, quit jobs and moved to Charlotte believing that God would turn this city upside down for his glory through the local church. That risk has resulted in a remarkable return.
The heart of Pastor Steven’s message is revolutionary faith and how to approach every experience from a visionary perspective. As a leader under 30 years old, his unique passion for seeing God’s purposes fulfilled is igniting a fire here in our city and beyond.
Pastor Steven attended North Greenville University, received a B.A. in communications and went on to complete a Master of Divinity from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
He resides in the Charlotte area with his wife, Holly, and two sons Elijah and Graham.
