V1 Church, also identified as V1 Church Inc., is an American nondenominational Christian multisite church founded by pastors Mike Signorelli and Julie Signorelli in the New York metropolitan area. The church conducts in-person worship services at several locations in the United States, alongside online services, religious education, evangelistic activities and community programs.[1][2]
Mike and Julie Signorelli are the church's founding lead pastors. The organization originated with a small congregation of approximately 18 people and subsequently expanded beyond its original New York area ministry.[3]
V1 Church has appeared on Outreach MagazineTemplate:'s annual Outreach 100 list of fastest-growing churches in the United States. It ranked 26th in 2023, 13th in 2024 and 94th in 2025. Its Outreach 100 profile identifies the church as nondenominational and lists Brooklyn, New York, as its location.[2]
The church's preaching and worship emphasize the Christian gospel, discipleship, prayer, spiritual renewal, the Holy Spirit and deliverance ministry. Its activities also include digital religious programming, leadership training, conferences and community outreach.[4][5]
History
Foundation and early development
V1 Church was established in 2016 in the New York metropolitan area by Mike and Julie Signorelli. The church describes its beginnings as a congregation of 18 people and identifies evangelism, discipleship and community service as central parts of its original mission.[1]
Published records differ on its founding year. Outreach 100 lists 2017, while a company-supplied profile published by Inc. lists 2016. The church was operating by 2017, when the Long Island Press published an article titled "V1 Church Finds a Home in Farmingdale".[2][6][7]
The congregation initially developed around the Long Island and New York City communities. Its early activities incorporated religious teaching, worship gatherings and livestreamed services. The church later expanded through additional physical campuses and online programming.[7][1]
Expansion and growth
During the early 2020s, V1 Church developed a multisite model incorporating both physical campuses and a wider online congregation. Its expansion included locations outside New York, particularly in Indiana, Florida and New Jersey.[1]
The church's growth received recognition through Outreach 100. Its recorded positions on the fastest-growing churches list were:
- 2023: 26th
- 2024: 13th
- 2025: 94th
The Outreach 100 profile also reports six locations and an attendance figure of 2,468. These figures are associated with the published listing and should not be interpreted as a continuously updated count of current locations or membership.[2]
Outreach 100 rankings are based on participating churches' reported attendance data and the publication's growth-ranking methodology. They are separate from broader promotional statements made by individual churches.
Development of online ministry
V1 Church expanded its digital religious programming during the COVID-19 pandemic, when online services provided an alternative to in-person gatherings. Its online activities developed into a continuing part of the church's operations.[6]
The organization broadcasts sermons, provides online worship services and coordinates small-group participation for people who do not attend one of its physical campuses. Its official online campus includes scheduled Sunday services and opportunities for viewers to participate in prayer and discussion.[8]
Leadership and organization
Founding pastors
Mike Signorelli is the founding lead pastor of V1 Church. He is an American Christian preacher, author and filmmaker whose ministry emphasizes evangelism, biblical teaching, spiritual revival and deliverance.[5]
Signorelli has participated in religious conferences, public evangelistic gatherings, documentary film projects and online Christian programming. His work beyond the church includes The Domino Revival, a documentary released theatrically in 2023.[9]
Julie Signorelli is also identified by V1 Church as a founding lead pastor. She has been involved in the church's development, family-oriented religious programs and community activities.[1]
Campus leadership
V1 Church follows a multisite organizational structure. Founding pastors oversee the church's wider ministry, while campus pastors are responsible for local congregations and pastoral activities.
The church's published leadership information identifies separate campus leadership teams for Brooklyn, Long Island, Miami, Indiana and New Jersey, as well as a team responsible for its global online congregation.[1]
The organization also maintains administrative and ministry structures supporting worship, volunteer coordination, pastoral care, religious education and community programs.
Legal organization
V1 Church Inc. is identified as a United States nonprofit religious organization. Charity Navigator lists an organization under that name as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, with employer identification number 81-1735195.[10]
The organization also maintains a public LinkedIn profile under the name V1 CHURCH INC, identifying its activities within the religious institutions sector.[11]
Locations and worship services
V1 Church operates through regional campuses and an online ministry.
Its official website identifies the following principal campus areas:
- Brooklyn, New York: A New York City congregation.
- Long Island, New York: A congregation serving Long Island communities.
- Manhattan, New York: A congregation in New York City.
- New Jersey: A regional congregation serving communities in New Jersey.
- Miami, Florida: A South Florida congregation.
- Indiana: A Midwest congregation associated with the greater Chicagoland region.
- Global online campus: A digital congregation participating in streamed services and online activities.
The church additionally organizes smaller gatherings described as Revival Homes, intended to support religious teaching and community participation outside conventional campus services.[1][8]
Locations, venues and service schedules may change over time. The organization maintains updated information through its official website.
Religious beliefs and practices
Theology
V1 Church identifies as a nondenominational Christian church. Its publicly available statement of beliefs affirms the authority of the Bible, the Trinity, the divinity and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and salvation through faith in Christ.[4]
The statement also affirms the importance of repentance, sanctification, the second coming of Christ, water baptism and the Lord's Supper.
Its theology includes an emphasis on the activity of the Holy Spirit and the continuing role of spiritual gifts. The church teaches that these gifts are intended for the development and ministry of the Christian community.[4]
Worship and discipleship
The church conducts contemporary Christian worship services combining music, prayer, preaching and religious instruction.
Discipleship is a central aspect of its ministry. V1 Church describes its mission as developing followers of Jesus Christ who help other people become disciples.[1]
The organization also provides opportunities for baptism, small-group participation, volunteer service and leadership development.
Deliverance and revival ministry
V1 Church's teaching includes deliverance ministry, a Christian religious practice concerned with prayer for spiritual freedom from what believers understand as demonic influence or oppression.
Signorelli has publicly advocated for deliverance ministry and has discussed the subject in interviews with Christian media outlets. In a March 2023 interview with The Christian Post, he argued that deliverance should remain part of Christian pastoral ministry.[5]
The church's beliefs also affirm prayer for healing and the operation of spiritual gifts. Claims of supernatural healing or deliverance represent religious beliefs and personal testimonies rather than independently established medical conclusions.[4][9]
Education and training
V1 Church has developed religious education and leadership-training activities connected to its wider ministry.
Its official history identifies V1 College as a training initiative established following the growth of Mike Signorelli's online Bible-teaching ministry. According to the church, the program has provided leadership and theological education to students from multiple countries.[1]
The church has also promoted ministry-school resources, courses and leadership programs intended to train volunteers, ministry leaders and individuals interested in Christian religious education.
Community outreach
Community assistance forms part of V1 Church's stated mission. Its outreach activities have included food assistance, charitable giving, support for homeless shelters and volunteer-led community programs.
The organization's own public profile describes contributions to New York-area homeless shelters and participation in food distribution, blood drives and other assistance initiatives.[11]
V1 Church also identifies V1 Community Impact as a nonprofit initiative created by its founding pastors to support charitable and humanitarian activities.[1]
In its 2023 annual report, the church reported providing food to 7,450 people and recording 799 baptisms across its ministry. These figures are organizational self-reports rather than independently audited findings.[12]
Public events and media
The Domino Revival
In 2023, Mike Signorelli was involved in The Domino Revival, a documentary focusing on Christian revival, prayer, deliverance and accounts of religious conversion and healing.
The film was distributed through Fathom Events and received theatrical screenings in the United States beginning in October 2023.[9]
Coverage by The Christian Post connected the documentary to Signorelli's evangelistic activities and the wider religious network associated with V1 Church.
Times Square gatherings
V1 Church and Mike Signorelli have organized public Christian gatherings in Times Square, New York City.
In November 2023, CBN News reported on a large religious gathering led by Signorelli in Times Square. The event included public preaching, worship and prayer.[13]
On 5 April 2026, V1 Church held an outdoor Easter Sunday service in Times Square. CBN News reported that thousands attended, while the ministry reported additional online viewership and religious responses during the event.[14]
In a subsequent interview with ChurchLeaders, Signorelli discussed the organization of the Easter gathering, his concerns about security threats and the church's growth from its original congregation. He suggested that the event might have been the first officially approved Easter Sunday service held in Times Square, although that historical distinction was not independently established in the reporting.[3]
Conferences
V1 Church has organized and participated in conferences focusing on religious revival, ministry leadership, worship and spiritual development.
One of its recurring events is the Breakers Conference, associated with Mike Signorelli and V1 Worship.
NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, listed the Breakers Conference with Mike Signorelli and V1 Worship for 25 October 2025.[15]
Recognition
V1 Church has received attention from Christian publications and church-growth researchers because of its expansion and its use of digital religious programming.
Its documented Outreach 100 fastest-growing church rankings include:
| Year | National ranking | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 26th | Outreach 100 |
| 2024 | 13th | Outreach 100 |
| 2025 | 94th | Outreach 100 |
These rankings measure growth within the Outreach 100 reporting framework. They do not establish that V1 Church was the single fastest-growing church in the United States.
