A way to share with you what Abundant Life is like, is to share our VALUES and VISION.

First, here are some of the things we value:

RELATIONSHIPS over doing	Winning the LOST
The reality of the SPIRIT	Solid MARRIAGES
INTIMACY with Jesus	DELIVERANCE from evil
PRAISE & WORSHIP	WORLD missions
LOVE for God and others	HEALING
Prayer for REVIVAL	UNITY among churches

We also have a clear VISION of what we are trying to accomplish. Our vision catch phrase is "To Win the Lost and Disciple the Found". Some ways we are accomplishing this are:

1. Every service and every meeting, whether the large Sunday, AM, or a small children's harvest party, is designed to offer both salvation to the lost and encouragement for growth to the believer.
   
   
2. Small Cell groups meet in homes all over a two county area as places for visitors to "check Jesus out" and for the committed to flesh out their faith. As a Church, we deliberately do not offer "programs" for every imaginable special interest. Rather, we have seen how beautifully the cells raise up new leaders, care for and hold people accountable, and creatively reach out to neighbors and friends. Cells use a common discipleship curriculum, maintain an outward focus, and offer a level of spiritual care and friendship unmatched by the traditional "many pastors" approach.
   
   
3. We are expecting and actively planning for our church to continue to increase in the number of people we touch. This will require us to provide larger facilities to house ministry. We also are actively praying and mentoring future leaders who will plant sister churches all over a two county area. Church plants have been shown to be a statistically proven method of reaching lost and unchurched people.
