Who is Elevation Church?
Elevation Church is a non-denominational evangelical church founded in 2006 in Charlotte, North Carolina, by pastor Steven Furtick, who leads it with his wife Holly. Its first service took place on February 5, 2006, in a local high school. The church now has around twenty campuses, most of them in North Carolina, and its main campus is in Ballantyne, in south Charlotte.
Known for its worship and for messages that apply the biblical text to everyday life, Elevation Church gave rise in 2007 to the band Elevation Worship. Its sermons, preached in English, are broadcast on YouTube and on its website. Efficient Church summarizes a selection of them on this page: each article distils a teaching with its key verses and links back to the original video and the church's channel.
