He was a true original, a pioneer of the New Thought movementbefore it was a movement

Rev. Frederick Eikerenkoetter, better known as Rev. Ike, helped guide millions of people toward more abundance and prosperity through his work as a minister, teacher, motivator, evangelist, counselor, and pastor.

Rev. Ike’s work spanned nearly six decades, taking him from a childhood of poverty to becoming one of the most well-known preachers in the world. In 1969 he purchased the legendary Loew’s Wonder Theater in New York City and established The United Palace, which would serve as his home base throughout his career. When he wasn’t preaching at the Palace, Rev. Ike often traveled and offered services in major arenas throughout the United States.

Rev. Ike was also a pioneer of radio and television evangelism, making him a household name and a regular guest on all of the most popular late-night talk shows and interview programs of the time.

Rev. Ike’s deep understanding of how his teachings could empower everyday people to achieve prosperity and abundance enabled him to profoundly impact so many lives. His innovative approach to Christian teachings through a metaphysical lens was consistently validated by experiential evidence and countless success stories of people who transformed their lives for the better. His approach also emphasized a universal quality that was relevant and accessible to anyone who wanted to improve their lives, regardless of their past or present religious affiliation.

While Rev. Ike transitioned in 2009, his timeless teachings continue to be relevant and effective today as more people awaken to their divine nature and untapped potential, and this has created a new chapter in the Rev. Ike legacy as a new generation discovers his potent and powerful work, revealing the God-in-You waiting to be discovered in each person.
