Our Company
Our Foundation
From day one, our goal has been to support churches and ministries worldwide. We firmly believe that local churches and organizations
everywhere are the hope of the world, and we are humbled to have an opportunity to resource them with media that declares the gospel
of Jesus Christ and highlights the Truth found in the Bible.
In the Beginning
Back in 2001, Rob Thomas was looking for a creative way to serve the church. It was then that Rob saw potential in himself to create
short films that could make an impact and help pastors teach.
From there, the first Igniter video, Are You Amazed?, was completed in 2002. Rob released the video to some local Dallas churches and
received some positive feedback encouraging him to create more videos. September 2003 is when we officially launched our company, Igniter Media.
This is when we released our first product, Igniter Videos, Volume 01, which contained Are You Amazed?
and our most popular video to date, That's My King!.
Next Steps
As we released several more volumes, including videos like Together | Team Hoyt, meChurch, and Sunday's Comin', our production team began to grow.
What started out as one person's vision has turned into a strong creative team dedicated to continuing to create media that declares Truth.
As we've grown, we also have seen a need to create other types of media for churches and ministry organizations.
In July 2005, we began creating Igniter Backs. These are a collection of looping motion backgrounds, countdowns, and still images.
In February 2007, we released Igniter Tracks. The goal of these tracks are to create visuals that complement the message of each song.
Each volume contains 7 worship songs with a variety of options, including click tracks and instrumental versions.
Moving Forward
We absolutely love having this opportunity to resource churches everywhere. But as the media needs of the Church changes, we hope to change with it.
So though it could be short films and countdowns now, we look forward to adjusting our future products to what the Church might need then,
whether that is more curriculum-based content or something different altogether.
Our Beliefs
Our tagline is "Creating Media | Declaring Truth." This has long summarized our purpose as a company. Though we do create media resources for churches, we are simply visually sharing (not creating) the Truth which God has already declared. With that in mind, here's what we believe to be Truth. For even further detail about our beliefs, please reference the Gospel Coalition Confessional Statement.
The Bible
We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the verbally inspired Word of God, inerrant in the original writings, and the supreme and final authority in doctrine and practice (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21; Matthew 5:18; John 17:17).
At Igniter, we love to bring the Bible, its stories, its principles, and its messages to life visually. Although not everyone of our videos displays a specific Bible verse, all of our content is created with Scripture in mind and strives to be consistent with what God has written.
The Trinity
We believe in one God eternally existing in three equal, yet distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14; Deuteronomy 6:4).
At Igniter, we believe in this Triune God and desire all people to personally know of our all-powerful God.
Jesus Christ and Salvation
We believe Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man. We believe He and He alone accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice. We believe our redemption and salvation are guaranteed by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (John 1:1-2, 14; Luke 1:35; Romans 3:24).
At Igniter, we feel called to share the hope and love of Jesus Christ in everything we do, including the media we create. It is our desire that, in big or small ways, our videos might spur on each viewer to become or excel still more at being a fully devoted follower of Christ.
The Church
We believe that the Church, the Body and espoused Bride of Christ, is made up of all born-again persons. We believe the local church is an assembly of professed believers in Jesus Christ who are voluntarily joined together in one locality for the purposes of worship, study of the Word of God, observance of the ordinances, Christian fellowship, equipping for and practice of Kingdom service, specifically stewarding lives for the purpose of fulfilling the Great Commission (Ephesians 1:22-23; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Acts 2: 42-47; Matthew 28:19-20).
At Igniter, we believe that the local and universal Church is the hope of the world. Each of us are involved with a local body of believers striving to make God's name more famous. In all of the media we create, our goal is to simply help equip the Church and your unique and important ministry.
