Ignited Church was birthed out of the Carpenter's Home Church in 2005.
We purchased and renovated a Scotties Lumber and moved into that location in 2006.
In 2021 we sold that facility and began meeting "online" and or "in person" events
in various locations.
Throughout our history, we've experienced many guest worship leaders like:
Jason Upton, Leonard Jones, Josh Baldwin,
Dustin Smith, Rick Pino, Eddie James, Roy Fields, and many more.
We have also had many guest speakers such as: Bill Johnson, Kris Vallotton, Che Ahn, Lance Wallnau, Patricia King, Matt Sorger, Lana Vawser, Brad McClendon, Clarice Fluitt, Frank Seamster, Nigel McNeill and many more.
We have a heart for Missions, Outreach, and Evangelism. Monthly, we would have missionary guest speakers
who serve all around the world representing multiple outreaches. Apostle Strader and several of our
Leadership Team continue to travel to many countries giving apostolic counsel and training
as well as hosting schools of revival, healing crusades, and revivals.
In 2008 we experienced a historic outpouring. We had up to 10,000 people a day attending
special services seven days a week. We had to move the services to multiple locations
including a baseball stadium, hockey arena, and a 10,000 seat tent built especially for the meetings.
It lasted 188 days! It was seen by satellite and internet by over 40 million viewers daily in nearly 200 countries!
We continue to cultivate a culture of revival. We desire for people to experience the touch of the Holy Spirit. We make sure that we worship God, equip the saints to do the work of the ministry, and
reach out to people that need to experience God.
Our goal is to Touch Locally and Reach Globally, Igniting Kingdom Life!
