Statement of Faith
Abundant Life Church is a church that is striving to become a 21st-century, Apostolic (apostle-like) church. We are founded upon the belief that the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God.

We believe in the great commission and are endeavoring to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with love, mercy and compassion.

We believe there is only one God. Deuteronomy 6:4 He is the creator of heaven and earth, and of all living beings. He has revealed Himself to humanity as the Father (Creator), as the Son (Savior), and as the Holy Ghost (indwelling Spirit).

We believe in water baptism by immersion in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. Through baptism, we identify with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Romans 6:3-6; Colossians 2:11-14; Acts 2:38

We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in other tongues. Acts 2:4

We believe in the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Mark 16:15-18; Acts 5:16; 1 Corinthians 12:1-11

Pentecostal Worship
As a Spirit-filled, Bible-based church, we seek to worship God in Spirit and truth according to worship practices found in the Bible.

We raise our hands because 1 Timothy 2:8 says “I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands.”

We clap our hands because Psalm 47:1 says “O clap your hands, all ye people.”

We sing and play music because Ephesians 5:19 says to worship “in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,” and Psalm 150 says to praise God with musical instruments.

We worship with a joyful noise because Psalm 66:1 says “Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands.”

We pray aloud because the early church “lifted up their voice to God with one accord” in prayer (Acts 4:24).

We dance in the Spirit because Psalm 149:3 says “Let them praise his name in the dance.”

We include testimonials, teaching, preaching, and spiritual gifts because 1 Corinthians 14:26 says “Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation.”
