abundant life
A place where God's Word transforms your life!
Our Vision:
Be a local church family that overflows with Jesus into our world
The Abundant Life is one that overflows, not with more stuff, but with more of Jesus!
Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life… and have it more abundantly." (John 10:10b).
Our Mission:
Bring everyone into a discipleship relationship
Discipleship is what helps us become people who overflow with Jesus
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations." (Mt 28:19)
Our DNA
We Love God & His Word
This is probably the most defining characteristic of our community. We love talking to God in prayer and hearing from Him in His Word. For us that means reading, studying and applying the Bible. We encourage everyone to read through the One Year Bible together. We always have great, inspiring, Biblical teaching.
We Love Each Other
We believe genuine love is the best indicator of good doctrine (1 Tim. 1:3-5). It doesn't matter how tight our theology is, if we aren't loving, it doesn't matter (1 Cor. 13:1-3). Home gatherings are where the love happens and we'd rather see people gather in homes midweek than at church. on Sundays
We Love Serving Our Community
Jesus told us that He came, "not to be served, but to serve." Jesus loved people in practical ways by getting into the nitty gritty of their lives and meeting their real needs. We want to be more like Jesus! So, we go out and serve our city in practical ways every chance we get.
We Love Sharing Jesus
We desperately want our loved ones to experience the love and forgiveness that Jesus has given us... but not in a pushy religious way. When Jesus walked this earth, there was nothing religious about Him. He was love personified. We want others to experience that Jesus!
We Love Eating Together
Seriously! We believe that where there is no food it's really hard to have good fellowship. There is something heavenly about breaking bread together. So every Sunday after service we offer a free lunch to all who come. This allows everyone, no matter what station of life, to linger and build loving relationships.
We Love Kids
Half our church is kids...literally! Jesus said the Kingdom of God belongs to kids and we believe it. That means we're not uptight about kids in the sanctuary or babies crying during the message (it's what they do). We love the sound of kids laughing and squealing with delight. We think heaven is probably going to sound a lot like that.
