2025 Annual Report

A Message from Pastor Jason

Ignite Family:

2025 was a very special year of ministry for our church. I know that when you are doing things in the name of Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit, for the glory of the Father, technically every year is special, but 2025 will, in my opinion, forever be a truly significant year in the history of our church. We believe in the power of the church of Jesus, and we believe it is our responsibility to plant churches here, near, and far. This belief is one of the primary heartbeats of who we are. The community of Wilson has been on my heart for many years, and making the dream of Wilson a reality in 2025 was such an incredible experience.

I want to say such a huge thank you to all of you who are a part of Ignite who have prayed, given, and served to help us birth a beautiful gospel community in Wilson. This thing Jesus has called us to do is really hard, but it is impacting so many people right now. Honestly, whether you live in Greenville, Chocowinity, or Wilson and are a part of Ignite, it is hard sometimes to remember that the really cool things God is doing in your community (because He is doing amazing eternity-shifting things at all our locations) are happening in others. We are a part of a bigger thing that is impacting Eastern NC in ways that transcend any one city.

In 2025, we saw so many people come to Jesus with record-breaking numbers of baptisms in Greenville and Chocowinity. We saw Fuse grow exponentially, and it continually blows my mind to consider the impact we are able to have at East Carolina University. We saw powerful momentum in all of our ministries! While that was happening, a whole new staff team was brought on and trained. A core team for the Wilson plant was created, discipled, and unleashed. Tons of needed equipment was bought, a mobile venue for the new plant was secured, and the first breaths of a newborn church were experienced. 2025 was so special, and I hope this report helps illustrate some of the amazing things Jesus has done while always believing: THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!

Sincerely,


Jason Lineberger (Head Pastor of Ignite Church)

See what God did in 2025!

He's Just Getting Started

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than we could ever ask or imagine...

We want to hear how God moved in your life in 2025. Share your story below!

 191 Baptisms

Baptism declares to the world you’ve trusted Jesus, joined God’s family, and made a commitment to follow Jesus, heart and soul. Every number has a name, every name has a story, and every story matters to God.

129 New Partners

We desire every person who attends Ignite to become a PARTNER. Partnership is like membership, but so much more. It’s not your name on some list; it’s a relationship and a commitment from the church and from you to reach this city and advance God’s Kingdom TOGETHER.

1,105 First Time Guests

Our heart is to reach people here, near, and far. This year, we've welcomed 1,105 new faces through the doors of Ignite Church in Greenville & Chocowinity, NC!

52 EQUIP Growth Track Graduates

Everything we do is to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ.
Equip is our main method of discipleship to see that mission fulfilled.

52 Ignite Small Groups

Groups are where godly friends become spiritual family. Where faith is stirred, assumptions are challenged, sisters are found, and brothers build each other up.

17+ Ministry Organizations Supported

We are passionate about sharing the good news of Jesus with our local community in eastern North Carolina and around the world. In 2025, we partnered with 17+ organizations from Greenville, NC, and beyond.
