Curvine
From curvinemusic.com:
Curvine has been in full time Ministry for the past 6 years, and has ministered alongside internationally renowned Christian artists and speakers such as Israel Houghton, Kim Walker, LeCrae, Kari Jobe, Chris Hill, Reggie Dabbs, Eddie James, Jeanne Mayo, Benny Perez, Adam McCain, David Wilkerson, Josh McDowell, Delirious, Shane & Shane, Banning Liebscher & Jesus Culture, Lloyd Zeigler, Trip Lee, Robert Madu, Josh Mayo , G.R.I.T.S, and many others.
Coined as one who “speaks the language of a generation”, Curvine is sincerely passionate about the souls of young people lost in sin, but has a special place in his heart for those raised in the church, yet overcome by complacency and compromise. His ventures as an artist and youth evangelist have led him to venues, conferences, schools, and youth groups throughout the U.S. sharing the message of God’s extravagant love for this generation through a visually-dynamic and multimedia-fueled presentation that shatters cultural and generational walls and engages all of the senses. On stage, Curvine pours out his heart with a passion and urgency that is seldom seen in artists and performers of this day. He desires, above all else, to drive a generation to Christ; to see them transformed by His love; and walking in the purpose and destiny that they were created for.
His lovely wife, Candace, often ministers alongside him. Her heart beats for the teenage girl struggling with insecurity & self-esteem. Through unique & heart-gripping illustrations, Candace speaks on the importance of purity before God & man. Together, their unique methods of evangelism, teaching, and exhortation have lead to an explosion of spiritual passion & cultural awareness in youth groups, national conferences, & street corners across America; which through the power and love of God, then leads to repentance and surrender.
Curvine and his wife are graduates of Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas, Texas, where they are mentored by Jaycee Jennings (Director of Youth for the Nations), and serve under Lloyd Zeigler (founder of Master’s Commission & their Senior Pastor at Relevant Church). They are also the founders and directors of Christ Culture Ministries, a creative arts-driven development focused on homeland missions through the primary vehicle of Christ-centered Hip Hop music. Curvine states, “We seek to raise an awareness of urban and youth culture amongst parents and leaders while challenging young people to live a lifestyle of worship with a heart for their generation.” Christ Culture also exists to equip the local church with effective out-of-the-box tools and evangelistic strategies for reaching this generation for Christ. Curvine and Candace reside in Dallas Texas with their lovely daughter, Lyric.
VISION STATEMENT:
