A month after the tragic passing of co-founder Charlie Kirk, the faith arm of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) has experienced explosive growth, confirming a powerful revival-like response among Christian communities nationwide.

TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet confirmed the unprecedented surge, noting the organization’s church network has doubled its size while drawing in hundreds of thousands of new followers.

Appearing on “The Story,” Kolvet revealed the startling metrics of this surge. Before the September 10th incident, the TPUSA Faith network comprised approximately 4,000 churches.

Since then, the organization has added over 4,000 more, effectively doubling the network to 8,000 churches. This exponential growth is one of the largest spikes in the organization’s history.

Beyond the structural expansion, the digital growth is equally immense. Kolvet reported that the organization’s social media platforms have seen almost 1,000% growth in engagement.

This digital surge is being matched by grassroots involvement, with over 200,000 new Christians signing up to actively participate in the TPUSA Faith mission nationwide.

Kolvet emphasized that this expansion is a profound testament to the legacy Charlie Kirk left behind, driven by individuals seeking meaning and a return to foundational values. The feedback is deeply personal and moving.

Messages flooding the organization include emotional accounts: “Charlie re-inspired my faith. I’m going back to church. I’m praying for my husband. Our marriage has been saved because of the legacy that… and just the way Charlie lived his life.”

This movement reflects a deep hunger in a politically charged environment. Kirk’s pivot to explicitly integrating faith into his political work began around 2020, during the COVID lockdowns, when he felt traditional pulpits were silent on key cultural issues.

He launched TPUSA Faith to create a movement that would blend civic engagement with spiritual awakening, urging Christians to be “salt and light” in every sphere of life.

The mission of TPUSA Faith is clear: to equip the American church to boldly stand for biblical truth and expose lies by articulating the essential connection between faith and freedom. This proactive approach has resonated with those who felt their values were being ignored or attacked.

Kolvet credited this expansion entirely to the unique way Charlie Kirk seamlessly wove his conviction into every interaction. He had a rare ability to take a question on any topic—no matter how political—and integrate his unwavering faith into the response.

This meant his message was often preserved in bite-sized, high-impact clips. After his tragic passing, these archives became a resource for mourners. People started seeing these clips, realizing the deep wisdom packed into these social media videos.

They discovered not just a political commentator, but a man modeling an uncompromising Christian walk. This realization provided them with a clear vision of purpose and a future anchored by faith.

The TPUSA Faith network operationalizes this growth by offering resources like Biblical Citizenship classes, leadership summits, and local faith groups. This infrastructure allows the newly energized 200,000 activists to channel their emotional response into tangible political and cultural action.

The surge confirms that Charlie Kirk’s passing has galvanized his religious base, establishing a powerful, enduring network that ensures his mission to empower Christians in the public square will continue to echo across the nation for years to come.
