Overview

• Tens of thousands gathered in Glendale, Arizona, on Sept. 21 for the “Building a Legacy: Remembering Charlie Kirk” memorial at State Farm Stadium.
• Pastor Rob McCoy, described as Kirk’s pastor and a Turning Point Faith co-chair, delivered the opening tribute with an explicitly Christian message.
• McCoy told the crowd that “Turning Point is alive and well,” praising staff for organizing what he called the largest event in the organization’s history.
• He said Kirk viewed politics as an “on-ramp to Jesus,” preached a salvation message, and invited attendees who newly embraced the faith to stand.
• The service followed Christian performances and honored Kirk, who was assassinated at a Utah Valley University event on Sept. 10.
