John Nix is a follower of Jesus Christ, a husband, dad, friend and Bible communicator. He is the founder and chief communicator of Vertical Purpose Ministries, a Memphis based nonprofit organization. John loves people and always seems to be smiling and laughing with someone. John loves his family and will tell you that he is a pastor to his family first. He is passionate about communicating the gospel and loves sharing the great story of God.

John is an innovative Gospel communicator that uses what he calls the expository narrative to bring clarity when it comes to the Gospel. People need truth and are desperate for purpose. Through high-energy, engaging, humorous and gospel-centered messages, John communicates the life changing truth of Jesus Christ in a way that is easy to understand. He challenges people everywhere to find their “Vertical Purpose” by making Jesus their highest value, declaring the truth of scripture, and responding to what God is doing. John is recognized as an influential communicator and serves as the Pastor for Camp Electric, a worship and rock ‘n roll music camp that features amazing Christian artists such as Toby Mac, Jeremy Camp, Sanctus Real, Skillet, Pillar and many others. John also serves each summer as camp pastor with Crossings Camps and LifeWay Camps. He leads campus Bible studies, Disciple Now weekends, marriage retreats, parenting seminars, conferences and revivals impacting over a million people in the United States and around the world.

John first spoke at our annual superbowl party half time service. We then had him back to lead a Disciple Now weekend for us where he spoke to the parents of our students at a kickoff meal and then spoke to our students in three different services, as well as preached both of our Sunday morning worship services to end the weekend.
 
We had a fantastic experience with John.  Not only did he do an excellent job speaking but he also hung out with our kids before the worship services, after the worship services, and came bowling with the group during our free afternoon time.  Our parents, students, and even our senior adults enjoyed John's time with us at FBC.

John serves Crossings as a camp pastor during the summer. My experience with John is great.  As a camp pastor we can trust him to faithfully share the gospel and truly partner with us to accomplish our goals as a ministry. John communicates our mission and our vision as well as any full time employee at Crossings. He is more than a speaker, he is a pastor to our guests and our staff and a partner in Gospel ministry.

...John Nix is a powerfully motivating speaker. He truly knows how to get down on the students' level and deliver messages that both convict and spur the students to action. ...He is a wonderful speaker and an incredible man of God.
