McCoy also recalled a conversation he had with the organization’s team before the service.

“I was just telling the Turning Point staff as I walked in here, everyone is worried that Turning Point isn’t going to be successful, and I looked at each and every one of them,” McCoy said.

The pastor went on to recognize their efforts. “Without Charlie Kirk’s presence, they pulled off the largest event in Turning Point history. Let’s thank them. Turning Point is alive and well,” said Pastor McCoy.
