‘Amen Church’ Permanently Closes Following Pastor’s Viral Pro-LGBTQ Sermon

‘Amen Church’ has reportedly shut down completely and permanently closed its doors, putting the Dallas-based church out of its misery following its spectacular implosion and downfall. 

Three months ago, Amen Church founder Dr. Field Harrison shocked concertgoers attending the ‘Amen Nights’ worship concert when he attacked the inspiration of the Bible and came out fully as LGBTQ-affirming. Telling the gathered crowd, “There are some people that want to treat the whole Bible as equal, just not this guy” Harrison was dismayed when rather than standing up for the voiceless, the crowd stood up to leave, disgusted at what they heard.

In late 2021, Dr. Field Harrison and his wife Sabrina launched Amen Church in Dallas, Texas. A dentist by profession (and NOT a doctor of theology). The church was unique in that it was all staffed by volunteers and there are no paid positions, with Harrison pledging to donate all tithes to charity- sometimes homeless shelters, other times hospitals. In a since-deleted message on their ‘About me page,’ he explains, “You don’t have to be a pastor to grow the church. Every believer of Jesus is called to do that.” 

Though the church never made a public statement regarding the open gay affirmation, after the sermon, they did change their website to be more honest about what they believe and better reflect their core values, removing the phrase ‘the bible is inspired’ from their statement of faith. Musician Dante Bowe, who attends the church, has not made a statement either. 

Despite having a robust and active social media presence before this event, the concert sermon has changed everything. Following the gay-affirming statements, the church’s social media accounts have gone silent or purged altogether. 

• The have deleted their Facebook page.
• They have deleted their church website.
• They have deleted all their sermons and content from YouTube. 
• They have not updated their Instagram since March 19 .
• Founder/ preacher Field Harrison has taken his Instagram private.

Plus Google is also showing their demise.

While it’s possible they have simply gone completely underground to avoid scrutiny, it’s unlikely. From burgeoning, growing church to shutting down completely following a single gay-affirming message.

You love to see it.
