Carl Amouzou
Carl Amouzou is a pastor, writer, educator, and creative whose work lives at the intersection of faith, formation, culture, and imagination.
With roots in hip-hop, spoken word, theology, and leadership, he brings a theopoetic and narrative lens to everything from cultivating Church communities to offering cultural commentary. His work helps others lead with courage, clarity, and compassion, while embracing mystery, beauty, and the slow work of becoming.
Carl invites others to resist quick fixes and rediscover God in the everyday, find grace in the long arc of transformation, and uncover beauty in the liminal spaces of life.
Carl is a firm believer that a good and beautiful future is still possible, and that shared space shapes shared stories capable of transforming the world. He is the founder of FōS, a creative and formational community that sees itself as the R&D department for the future Church, designing spaces rooted in imagination, experimentation, and embodied faith.
