Church led by Davey Blackburn announces closure
INDIANAPOLIS — One week after Pastor Davey Blackburn announced he was resigning from the church he founded, leaders at Resonate Church say the congregation is tens of thousands of dollars in debt.
Resonate Church leaders have announced that they're shutting down.
A dissolution plan to dissolve the church went out to congregation members on Sunday.
The plan shows resonate owes nearly $36, more than the church has in the bank.
In a statement to RTV6, the church said Resonate will not have any outstanding balances when it closes.
In order to do that, the church will sell off tens of thousands of dollars in equipment.
Listen above for an audio clip that RTV6 obtained from Sunday, as church leaders answer tough questions from the congregation.
Read below that transcription below:
"were any of the funds misappropriated? great question. Absolutely not. Money and donations that came in the form of tithes and from the outside all went in. There are multiple checks and balances for every check that was written out of the church or coming in. There was no misappropriation whatsoever. There is no money that went places it sho
Kristi and I are absolutely heartbroken that Resonate Church is closing down. When Amanda and I launched out eight years ago with a vision and a dream to build a life-giving church in Indianapolis, we certainly did not think that eight years into the journey Resonate would no longer be in existence. As the leader of Resonate for the past eight years, I take responsibility for the organization not being in a place where it could continue forward beyond our departure. If I was given the opportunity to start the church all over again there are many leadership decisions I would make differently. The past three years since Amanda’s death have proven difficult to navigate with demands on our family, leadership of the church, and serving in other ministries. While we have much to learn and room for growth in leadership, we have striven to conduct our lives with the utmost integrity and with a heart to help people meet Jesus and grow in their walk with Him. As Kristi and I were in conversations with our Board of Overseers and the transition team about our transition, our desire was - and still is - to do whatever we can to help Resonate Church
It’s impossible to communicate all the emotions my heart has been forced to process. My wife was such a beautiful, gracious, loving woman of God. I have not only lost my ministry partner and support but also my very best friend. There is no way to prepare yourself for circumstances like these. As deeply as I am hurting I am hopeful and confident that good things will come of this. I rest in the truth of Romans that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose. Thank you for understanding my desire to take these next few days to continue to grieve for Amanda Grace. My focus right now is to let The Lord minister to my heart as I continue to shepherd little Weston’s. I’ll be taking this time to focus on being a great follower of Jesus, dad, family member, and pastor to our growing church. Amanda made it her life’s calling to love and serve everyone she knew. Even more, she has made it her life’s mission to see as many people as possible come to know Jesus as their personal Savior. I know that in her death and legacy even more people will come to a saving faith in Christ. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt he
Kristi and I are making a massive life transition that we shared with our church this morning. Here is what I read to them and I wanted to share it with you, our online community who has been following our life and ministry: My greatest fear in life would be doing something or leading my family in a direction that is against what God has called us to do. Ever since I gave my life to Jesus when I was eight, and especially since I was called into full-time ministry at eighteen, I have learned that the most fulfilling and fruitful place to be is at the center of God’s will. But sometimes leaving where you are to move into that center can be terrifying. And so it’s with a heavy heart, a nervous apprehension, a trusting spirit, and yet an excited anticipation for the future that I must announce that Kristi and I are stepping away as the leaders of Resonate Church. We are doing this in order to answer a call God has placed on our lives to help people from all over the world find purpose in their pain through Nothing is Wasted. I know to many of you this may come as a huge surprise and may seem fair
