Statement of faith

At Christian Influencer Convention, we exist to glorify Jesus Christ, equip believers to influence culture through the Gospel, and encourage Christian creators, leaders, ministries, and businesses to operate in truth, integrity, and biblical conviction. The following Statement of Faith reflects Christian doctrine and serves as the doctrinal standard for our organization, events, partnerships, speakers, vendors, volunteers, and affiliated participants.

  • The Scriptures

    We believe the Holy Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. Scripture is God’s revelation to mankind and is the final authority for faith, doctrine, and Christian living. We believe the Bible is true, trustworthy, and without error in its original writings.

  • The Trinity

    We believe there is one true and living God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are equal in deity, power, glory, and perfection, and together are worthy of all worship, honor, and obedience.

  • Jesus Christ

    We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross as the atoning sacrifice for the sins of mankind, bodily rose again on the third day, ascended into Heaven, and will personally return again in power and glory. Salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone.

  • Salvation

    We believe that all people are sinners in need of salvation. Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone, not by works or human effort. Those who repent of their sins and place their faith in Christ are forgiven, born again by the Holy Spirit, and granted eternal life.

  • The Holy Spirit

    We believe the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, regenerates believers, indwells every Christian, empowers believers for godly living and ministry, and guides believers into truth. The Holy Spirit produces spiritual fruit and equips the Church with gifts for the building up of the Body of Christ.

  • The Church

    We believe the Church is the Body of Christ, made up of all true believers. The mission of the Church is to glorify God by making disciples, preaching the Gospel, serving others, and advancing the Kingdom of God throughout the world. We affirm the importance of the local church, believer’s baptism, discipleship, evangelism, prayer, and biblical community.

  • Christian Living & Conduct

    We believe Christians are called to live holy lives that reflect the character of Jesus Christ. Followers of Christ should demonstrate integrity, humility, purity, compassion, honesty, and love in both public and private life. We believe our speech, actions, online presence, and influence should honor God and point others toward Christ.


    As an organization serving Christian influencers, creators, ministries, speakers, and businesses, we expect all affiliated individuals and organizations to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with biblical Christianity and Christian testimony.

  • Marriage, Sexuality, and Human Dignity

    We believe God created every person in His image and that every human life possesses inherent dignity and value from conception to natural death. We believe biblical marriage is the covenant union between one man and one woman. We believe God lovingly calls all people to repentance, holiness, and redemption through Jesus Christ. We are committed to speaking the truth in love while extending grace, compassion, and respect to every person.

  • Mission and Influence

    We believe Christians are called to be salt and light in the world. Through media, business, creativity, leadership, ministry, and digital influence, believers have an opportunity and responsibility to proclaim the Gospel and represent Christ faithfully in every sphere of culture.


    The purpose of Christian Influencer Convention is to encourage biblically grounded influence that glorifies God, strengthens the Church, and advances the message of Jesus Christ.

  • Partnership and Participation Standards

    All speakers, vendors, sponsors, volunteers, performers, exhibitors, ministry partners, and affiliated participants associated with Christian Influencer Convention are expected to respect and operate in alignment with this Statement of Faith while participating in our events, platforms, or partnerships.


    We reserve the right to refuse or remove partnerships, participation, or representation that conflicts with our biblical convictions, organizational mission, or standards of Christian conduct.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Christian Influencer Convention is not just an event. It is a movement rooted in bold truth.

  • BACKGROUND & MISSION

    In today's digital age, the relevance of Christian conventions remains unwavering, consistently attracting believers from various walks of life. Yet, a persistent challenge emerges: ensuring churches engage effectively with both young believers and the wider Christian community, fostering enduring bonds. The Christian Influencer Convention seeks to address this and serve as a beacon for all believers, both young and old.

  • OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE

    While our initial focus addresses the need to resonate with younger demographics, our goal spans beyond this. We envision a hub where believers, irrespective of their digital platform or profession, can converge, collaborate, and amplify God's word. Whether one is an Influencer on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or a teacher, or plumber, our mission is to provide an environment that fosters influence in every facet of society.
