Charlie Kirk Honored at HillCity Church

By ERIC SANTOMAURO-STENZELONEONTA

Around 20 locals honored the life of Charlie Kirk at HillCity Church on what would have been his 32nd birthday, October 14. Speaking from the lectern with a photo of Kirk in front of him, host Pastor Tim Wormuth described Kirk’s death as a martyrdom where “God is opening a door of opportunity for the church in America.”

On September 10, Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University. Kirk’s organization, Turning Point USA, primarily works to promote conservative politics among young people. A close ally of President Donald Trump, Kirk assisted his 2024 election campaign and had TPUSA send buses of his supporters to Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021.

Wormuth began by saying they were gathering to “celebrate and remember the life of Charlie Kirk and what that meant for our nation.”
