Our Pastor

Our pastor, Scott Walsh, grew up in the snowbelt city of Rochester, New York. He experienced a life-changing conversion to Jesus during his first semester of college.

Priscilla Walsh grew up in Haddonfield, New Jersey outside of Philadelphia. She was teaching and at work on her Master’s degree in music when, as a non-Christian, she began to attend Scott’s home church in Rochester.

After her conversion and their marriage, Scott studied and graduated from Wheaton College in Illinois, and Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary in the Boston area.

In 1982 Scott and Priscilla took the leadership of the failing 20-person Baptist church that is now Abundant Life Christian Center.

From their different backgrounds, Pastor Scott and Priscilla bring an understanding of and passion for relationships that thrive. Much of their time and effort is involved in marriage and family teaching, counseling and retreats.
