My name is
John Darnell. I reside in Jacksonville, FL with my lovely bride, two remarkable kids, and one amazingly low key dog.I serve as Lead Pastor of Vivid Church. Our purpose is simple - we exist to encourage people in their pursuit of God. We believe that the future of the church is to be found in vital, authentic relationships rather than traditions and institutions.

I also love to hear your thoughts. Agree or disagree, leave a comment and let's talk.
