Louie Giglio (born 30 June 1958[1][2]) is a pastor (Passion City Church, Atlanta), speaker and founder of the Passion Movement.
Biography
Giglio graduated from Georgia State University and earned a Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.[3] Later he went to Grace Theological Seminary to pursue a Doctor of Ministry degree.[4] After finishing seminary, Giglio and his wife Shelley began a weekly Bible study called Choice at Baylor University where he was doing graduate studies. After several years, over 10 percent of the Baylor student body was attending the weekly gathering and Giglio's heart for the significance of the "university moment" was set.[5]
In 1995, the Giglios moved from their home in Waco, Texas to Atlanta, Georgia due to Louie's father's failing health.[4]
Louie is the author of The Air I Breathe: Worship as a Way of Life and I Am Not But I Know I Am: Welcome to the Story Of God. As well, his talks "Indescribable" and "How Great Is Our God" have been viewed by churches and individuals around the world. The "Laminin" clip from his message "How Great Is Our God" has been viewed over 3 million times on YouTube alone.[6]
Passion Conferences
From its beginnings in 1995, the Passion Movement has hosted close to 1 million university students at events ranging from the first Passion Conference in Austin, TX (January '97) where 2,000 people attended to OneDay 2000 (a gathering of 40,000 students for prayer and worship outside Memphis, TN) to the 2008 17-city Passion World Tour.[7] In between, Passion has hosted local campus events at the leading universities across the nation, as well as larger regional and national events in cities like Seattle, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Minneapolis and Washington, D.C.
As a part of the Passion movement, Louie and Shelley also head up sixstepsrecords, a partnership with Sparrow Records. Distinctly spelled with a lower-case "s" and all one word, sixstepsrecords, the small label family is home to artists Chris Tomlin, The David Crowder*Band, Charlie Hall, Matt Redman, Kristian Stanfill, Christy Nockels and Passion.[8]
In June, 2008, while speaking for his good friend Andy Stanley, it was announced that Giglio was planting a new church in Atlanta, Georgia. Chris Tomlin announced he was joining Giglio in Atlanta for the Passion City Church launch.[9][10] Louie, and his wife Shelley, were members of North Point Community Church for 13 years until the founding of Passion City Church. Two years later, the church has built a home for PCC.
Along with Tomlin, Matt and Beth Redman and a small core team, Passion City Church officially gathered in Fall 2008. Passion City Church held its first service on February 15, 2009, in Atlanta, Georgia at The Tabernacle.[11]
Passion Conferences most recently hosted Passion 2012 in Atlanta, GA, on January 2-5, 2012. Over 44,000 university students from around the United States and over 30 other countries attended, and more than 170,000 people from more than 130 countries watched part of the conference online. And as a collective whole took a stand for freedom and raised over 3,000,000 dollars to help end human slavery. </refhttp://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/world/2012/01/05/cfp-clancy-do-something-now.cnn#/video/world/2012/01/05/cfp-clancy-do-something-now.cnn /ref>
