WELCOME TO ABUNDANT LIFE
WHEN YOU COME TO ABUNDANT LIFE, YOU WILL ENJOY A CASUAL AND WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE, WHERE WE JOIN TOGETHER TO EXPERIENCE THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHER BELIEVERS.
THE GOAL OF EACH WORSHIP SERVICE IS TO ENCOUNTER GOD, to GROW, AND to LEARN HOW TO ENGAGE IN HIS PLAN FOR OUR LIVES. ABUNDANT LIFE EXISTS TO REACH PEOPLE WITH THE LIFE-GIVING MESSAGE OF JESUS CHRIST so THAT THEY MIGHT EXPERIENCE the LIFE OF PURPOSE AND FULFILLMENT THAT GOD DESIRES FOR THEM. JEREMIAH 29:11 SAYS THAT THE PLANS GOD HAS FOR US ARE FOR PEACE AND NOT EVIL, SO THAT WE CAN EXPERIENCE A FUTURE FILLED WITH HOPE.
OUR MISSION
ENGAGE.
–
God never intended for us to go through life alone.
Throughout the Bible, we see the importance of being in community.
Authentic life-change happens in the context of relationships.
EQUIP.
–
We believe that by equipping people for life, we will be giving them
the tools to live the kind of life God wants them to have.
EMPOWER.

When we do life together, our problems become smaller as God uses
others to bring support and encouragement to our lives.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
WE BELIEVE that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This Trinity is equal in power and glory, created all, upholds all, and governs all.
WE BELIEVE that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God. We believe they are fully inspired without error in the original manuscripts, and are the infallible rule of faith and practice.
WE BELIEVE in God the Father, an infinite personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, and that He hears and answers prayer. We believe that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
WE BELIEVE in Jesus Christ. God's only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, and miracles and teaching. We believe in His substitutional atoning death, bodily resurrection, and ascension into heaven.
WE BELIEVE in Christ's perpetual intercession for His people, and personal, visible return to earth.
WE BELIEVE in the Holy Spirit, who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. We believe the Holy Spirit regenerates, sanctifies, and empowers for ministry all who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding Helper, Teacher, and Guide.
WE BELIEVE in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and in the exercise of all the Biblical gifts of the Spirit.
WE BELIEVE that all men are sinners by nature and choice and therefore, under condemnation.
WE BELIEVE that God regenerates by the Holy Spirit those who repent of their sins and confess Jesus Christ as Lord. We believe that Jesus Christ baptizes the seeking believer with the Holy Spirit and power for service, often subsequent to regeneration.
WE BELIEVE in the Universal Church, the living spiritual body of which Christ is the Head and all regenerated persons are members.
WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ committed two ordinances to the Church: (1) Baptism and (2) the Lord's Supper. We believe in baptism by immersion and communion open to all believers.
WE BELIEVE in the personal, visible return of Jesus Christ to earth and the establishment of His Kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, the eternal blessing of the righteous, and endless suffering of the wicked.
