Community Gathers for ‘Courageous Christianity’ Event in Harker Heights to Honor Charlie Kirk
Last night, over 500 people came together at Vintage Church in Harker Heights, Texas, for a heartfelt event titled ‘Courageous Christianity’. This gathering was a touching tribute to the life of Charlie Kirk, a prominent Christian nationalist who tragically lost his life in a violent incident in Utah on September 10.
Pastoral Remembrance

Pastor Stephen Martin of Vintage Church was instrumental in organizing this important tour stop, emphasizing a welcoming atmosphere for everyone to attend and reflect on faith.
Celebration of Faith
The event kicked off with lively praise and worship music, setting a warm and uplifting tone as attendees arrived. Once settled in, the congregation enjoyed a video montage showcasing some of Kirk’s most memorable public appearances, reminding everyone of his dedication to his beliefs and his community.
A Biblical Perspective
As the evening unfolded, Pastor Martin spoke passionately about the significance of viewing current events through a Biblical lens. He drew parallels between Kirk’s martyrdom and the biblical stoning of Stephen, noting the risks that come with speaking the truth in today’s world. His message resonated with the crowd, highlighting the unfortunate reality that when arguments cannot prevail, violence often arises. This discussion cemented the evening’s theme of the need for courageous faith in uncertain times.
Reflections on Courage

A Call to Action
McCoy urged attendees to stay clear of what he described as a “carnal Christian soap opera,” emphasizing the importance of staying focused on genuine faith and community dialogue. He expressed his recent experience of supporting Erica Kirk at the hospital following Charlie’s death, stating, “God is on the move, and so is evil.” Such poignant remarks underlined the ongoing tug-of-war between light and darkness in the world today.
