Loving God. Loving People.
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and love your neighbor as yourself." –Luke 10:27
Our vision at Abundant Life is to be a true Christian Center where all are welcome. We believe God has not called us to be casual believers, but to really make a difference in the world around us by loving others as Jesus did. Our desire is to see people find significance and purpose in life by coming to know the love of God. Here at Abundant Life, we are committed to making a positive impact in our community and around the world.
Preach the ideal, but reach out to the real.
"Love the Lord your God and keep his... commands always." –Deuteronomy 11:1
"...'Neither do I condemn you,' Jesus declared. 'Go now and leave your life of sin.'" –John 8:11
The ultimate goal is for us to be like Jesus, but the reality of the situation is that no one is perfect. God has given us guidelines and Jesus has set the example, but it is our responsibility to use these principles and apply them to the reality of our own lives. We understand that people make mistakes and we encourage everyone to come as they are.
Seek and save the lost and disciple the found.
"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost." –Luke 19:10
"The things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others." –Timothy 2:2
At Abundant Life, we reach out to people who are in need and share the love of God with them. We provide a place where people who are struggling can find God. We also bring those who are already saved to a deeper level by studying the Word of God and applying it to our daily lives. Our ambition is to mentor and raise people up, to disciple people to have a life-long commitment to Christ, and to encourage Christians to share their faith with others.
