Travis Hearn is an American pastor, author, musician, and founder of Impact Worship. He is the co-founder and Senior Pastor of Impact Church, based in Scottsdale, Arizona.[citation needed]
Ministry
[edit]Hearn served as both a worship pastor and youth pastor before co-founding Impact Church in 2010.[citation needed] The church originally began when Andre Wadsworth of the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals started a Bible study for his teammates. The Bible study quickly grew, was opened to the public, and a church was formed. When Hearn joined as Senior Pastor in 2010, Impact Church was founded.[citation needed]
Under Hearn’s leadership, Impact Church grew exponentially, and in 2013, was named by Outreach Magazine as one of the Top 10 Fastest Growing Churches in America.[1] The church now sees over 10,000 attendees weekly as of 2024, and has a large online presence. In addition to his work at Impact Church, Hearn has served as the Phoenix Suns Team Chaplain since 2002, and previously served as chapel leader for multiple MLB and NFL teams, including the Kansas City Royals, Oakland Athletics, and the Arizona Cardinals.[2]
Public life and media
[edit]In November 2022, Hearn suffered a life-threatening stroke. He has claimed that this was followed by a miraculous healing[3][4][5][6] which he recounts in his book, The Fire Is for You. His story has been widely shared on podcasts and various media outlets.
