Welcome to ignite creative ministries

We exist to… to create events and experiences where people IGNITE as they encounter the Living God.

Who We ARE

Ignite Creative Ministries was founded in 2023 with a passion to provide creative experiences and worship events that draw people to encounter the Living God and IGNITE or re-IGNITE lives wholeheartedly for Jesus.  ICM also provides opportunities to develop and equip young inspiring worship artists to IGNITE. Stay tuned for more. 

Coming soon in 2024 -
