Eikon Ministries was founded by Roy "Soup" Campbell in 1997. With a vision to change the urban community from the inside out, Eikon began working to build leaders who live in and are vested in the community. Since 1999, the Eikon staff has become a part of Binghampton by purchasing homes in the neighborhood. We love and serve the community in which we live. At Eikon, we hope to provide resources, role models, and a vision to empower the residents of Binghampton to positively impact our community on our way to impacting the world.

Eikon Ministries received its name from the Greek word "Eikon" meaning image or likeness. In Romans 8:29, Paul writes that we should be "conformed to the image [Eikon] of Christ." The goal of Eikon Ministries is to assist residents in a community in their becoming more like Christ.
