Speaker Bio
Keenann R. Knox is the Founder and Senior Pastor of Impact City Church — a 28-year-old, debt-free ministry on Detroit's east side. Saved at a piano in a college lounge, called to preach in 1995, he planted ICC in 1998 with 22 people in his mother's basement and has led it through loss, rebuild, and growth ever since. A teacher by training — music, African American studies, piano, organ, voice — he communicates the way he was built: rhythmic, layered, designed to move a room without ever losing the truth in it. He hosts the daily PowerBurst broadcast, is leading Impact City into Vision 2026, and is writing his first book, Ungoogleable Faith.

What he speaks on
Every topic is lived before it's taught — pulled from 28 years of building people, family, and a city.
02
Leadership & Vision
Leadership multiplication: turning potential into ownership, and casting vision people will actually carry.
03
Church Growth & Culture
Building a culture strong enough to hold real life — including rebuilding after loss, from a pastor who lost 60% of a congregation in one season and rebuilt.
04
Creativity & Innovation
Content, media, AI, and technology as stewardship — how a Detroit church built a daily broadcast and a digital front door without losing its soul.
05
Men, Family & Legacy
Fatherhood, marriage, and building a house that outlasts you — from a man whose three adult children all serve in ministry beside him.
06
City Impact
The church as a transformational force in its city — Detroit won one household at a time, and what that looks like anywhere.
