Costi W. Hinn is an American evangelical pastor and author. He is founder and president of For The Gospel, and Teaching Pastor of Shepherd's House Bible Church in Chandler, Arizona, a Reformed church planted in 2022.[1]
He is the nephew of Benny Hinn and grew up following and later working with him. Costi Hinn then rejected his uncle's prosperity theology, writing an article in Christianity Today in 2017, in which he said, "I wept bitterly over my participation in greedy ministry manipulation and my life of false teaching and beliefs".[2] He followed this up with a 2019 book, God, Greed, and the (Prosperity) Gospel, about his upbringing in the Hinn family.[3][4]
Hinn studied at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and is currently completing his doctorate at The Master's Seminary.[5][6]
