Explore the Path of Joe and Krissy Angelo and the Inclusive Community of Vivid Church

In the vibrant tapestry of Vivid Church's history, the story of Joe and Krissy Angelo shines as a testament to the transformative power of faith. Their journey, far from conventional, is a remarkable narrative of redemption, resilience, and unwavering devotion.

Before embracing their calling to ministry, Joe and Krissy were entangled in the grip of a turbulent lifestyle. "Our lives revolved around the typical pursuits: education, a house, friends, and parties, all in search of happiness. Paradoxically, as we acquired these desires, we fought more and found ourselves immersed in drinking, self-absorption, cheating, and lying. More became the supposed remedy, yet it only left us more broken," said Joe Angelo. 

Then, one fateful weekend, Krissy decided to accompany Joe's mother to church. Little did she know that this experience would transform her life. She had heard of Jesus but had never truly known Him until that day. The encounter filled her with love and forgiveness, igniting a profound change within her. 

Joe's journey took a similar turn. He left film school to follow his calling to ministry, moving from internships to overseeing youth ministries and contributing to the establishment of two thriving churches. Their lives transitioned from self-centered pursuits to positively impacting others.

Originally from Northwest Michigan, they followed their calling to plant a church here in Brea, California. Today, they lead Vivid Church, a place where people can perceive Jesus clearly. It's not just about "knowing of Jesus" but truly knowing him. Vivid Church is a welcoming haven, regardless of where you are on your spiritual journey.

Vivid Church, as its name suggests, is all about making faith come alive. It's a place where you can experience the profound and vivid presence of Jesus, where the images in your mind are clear and powerful. It's not just another place of worship; it's a movement that transcends the walls of a building. The Angelos envision it as a place where disciples are made, with a mission to create more disciples. Their goal is that using their ministry and small groups, they will help create a ripple effect of faith and love that extends far beyond the boundaries of southern California.

With a solid foundation and a community eager to embrace it, Vivid Church has opened its doors, ready to welcome one and all. It's not merely a place for Sunday sermons; it's a vibrant, living community where faith takes shape and lives are transformed. This makes it a place of reflection, and a home away from home. It's a place where you can find your faith, where you can be yourself, and where you can become part of something much bigger. Joe and Krissy Angelo, along with their wonderful family, are eagerly waiting to extend a warm welcome and open their hearts to you.

The heart of Vivid, however, isn't just the physical space—it's the vibrant and diverse community that gathers there. You'll encounter individuals from all walks of life, united by their shared faith and the desire to grow together. It's a place where you can find your own unique place in the grand tapestry of faith. The Angelos, in their role as spiritual shepherds, are not just names on a bulletin; they're compassionate leaders who are genuinely interested in your spiritual growth. Joe and Krissy bring their extensive experience and unwavering commitment to help you navigate your faith journey.

Vivid Church offers a dynamic array of programs and events designed to cater to every member of the family. From prayer groups and children's activities to Bible studies, community outreach, and even a Saturday night football group, there's a place for everyone to connect, grow, and serve. Additionally, Joe and Krissy spearhead "The Married Life," a marriage ministry with over 100,000 online followers. They are fervently committed to strengthening marriages, guiding them towards prosperity.
