Alive Church

What Alive Church does

Alive Church is a multi-site non-denominational Christian church founded by Lead Pastors Ken and Tabatha Claytor, who moved from Washington, D.C. to Gainesville, Florida in 2007 to plant a church that officially launched in 2014. It operates five physical campuses — Florida Mall (Orlando), East Orlando, Gainesville, and Tampa in the United States, plus Criciúma in Brazil — alongside online worship services streamed via YouTube. The organization reaches thousands of people weekly through English, Spanish, and Portuguese services, with real-time multilingual translation enabled by the Wordly app.

The church's product portfolio spans core worship services, discipleship programming (Growth Track), small-group community (Alive Groups), age-segmented ministries (Alive Kids for infants through 5th grade, Alive Youth for 6th–12th grade), women's ministry (PIO Women), leadership development (Alive Leadership Institute), and accredited higher education via Alive College in partnership with Southeastern University. Supporting infrastructure includes an OverFlow-powered online giving platform accepting cash, recurring, crypto, stock, and DAF donations; a mobile app; a volunteer pipeline (Dream Team); and a Serve Day app for outreach coordination. Annual flagship events include Alive Conference (a three-day paid gathering in Orlando) and youth summer camp.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through voluntary tithes and offerings from individual congregants, supplemented by event registration fees for conferences, youth camp, and mission trips, and recurring giving via the 90-Day Tithing Challenge program. As a non-profit religious organization, Alive Church does not publicly disclose revenue. Distribution is entirely direct-to-congregant through physical campuses, online streaming, email/text opt-ins, and small groups, with marketing concentrated on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and the church's own website.
