A Message From The Vivid Church Overseers


VIVID CHURCH FAQ IN CLOSING: 

Pastor Allen announced his resignation from the role of Lead Pastor and the dissolving of Vivid Church. Above you can watch Pastor Allen’s sermon and announcement in full for further information.

Fast forward Pastor Allen’s Sermon to timestamp 37:35 for the full explanation for why this decision was made. 

This means that Vivid Church is winding down and will undergo a process known as dissolution until the entity no longer exists. This process is being handled by the board of Overseers, Pastor Allen, the staff, and legal council to ensure everything is done legally and appropriately in such a way that honors God and his people. Furthermore, Vivid Church held their final Sunday morning service, and last gathering the evening of May 17th. 

Pastor Allen and Amanda along with staff will be in attendance at Harvest Church with those from Vivid Church who chose to join them on Sunday May 24th at the 10:30 AM service to guide them into a new church family at Harvest with Pastor Ken Jumper and his wife, Sally. If you are looking for a church and unsure of where to go next, we recommend joining them so you don’t have to explore a new church alone, as you were not looking for a new church until Sunday, May 17th. We believe this approach shepherds the people of Vivid carefully as they stay with members of their former church family while meeting members of their new church family together for the first time.

The Overseers alongside Pastor Allen understood the need to find a church theologically in alignment with Vivid Church as well as be within the same community as Vivid. Harvest Church not only matches those two criteria, Pastor Allen and Pastor Ken have a prior relationship of both trust and respect making Harvest Church the best place to recommend.

The Vivid Church staff is focusing entirely on pastoral care for our current members.  Pastor Allen and the staff are dedicated to walking alongside the Vivid Church family as they navigate the grief and transition of this closing. Their primary goals are: 

  • Providing emotional and spiritual support during this time of grief.

  • Assisting members in finding new church homes

The board of Overseers, Pastor Allen, and staff together with legal counsel and the Vivid Church bookkeepers from Novum Partners will be settling all lease agreements the church is responsible for. Additionally, they will ensure that any and all other obligations get settled until every ministry or operational responsibility has been completed.

Every donor who contributed to the 2024 Legacy Offering and the 2025 Bigger Than Us Offering will be individually contacted via email regarding their gift. The process:
