The upcoming memorial service for Charlie Kirk will feature a powerful Gospel message delivered by his pastor, Rob McCoy. McCoy, who has served as Kirk’s spiritual leader for years, emphasized his commitment to ensuring the event focuses on faith rather than personal accolades.
McCoy, who has pastored a church for 25 years, described his role with humility, noting he is not an evangelist by title but believes in obedience to his calling. He shared how Kirk chose him as a pastor despite McCoy’s self-deprecating humor about his ministry’s modest scale. “I’ve preached churches down to a manageable size,” McCoy joked, adding that Kirk’s loyalty to him was unexpected.
At the service, McCoy plans to center the message on the Gospel, stating that attendees should leave remembering Kirk’s Savior rather than his name. “When they leave that building, they’re not going to have Charlie Kirk’s name on their lips. They’re going to have Charlie Kirk’s Savior’s name on their lips,” he said.
The event, set for Sunday in Glendale, Arizona, will draw a large audience, with McCoy acknowledging the significance of his 11-minute address. “For 11 minutes in Glendale… I’m gonna be the man he wanted me to be,” he declared.
