About Us

Mission

Abundant Life Church of Waukee is dedicated to proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ, making disciples through teaching and fellowship, and empowering believers to find and fulfill God’s plan for their lives.

Vision

Connecting people to Jesus in our community and beyond.

What We Believe

At the heart of our church is a simple desire to know God and walk with Him. We believe faith is meant to be lived, experienced, and shared in community. Grounded in the truth of the Bible and open to the work of God’s Spirit, our beliefs guide how we worship, serve, and love one another as we grow together in our relationship with Jesus Christ.

Statement of Faith

The Word

We are founded upon the belief that the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God.

God

We believe there is only one God. 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).

Deuteronomy 6:4

Baptism

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.

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in other tongues.

Acts 2:4

Gifts of the Spirit

We believe in the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He ministers to His people through tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy; words of knowledge and wisdom, discerning of spirits, faith, working of miracles, healing, helps and government. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today.

Mark 16:15-18; Acts 5:16; 2 Corinthians 12:1-1; I Corinthians 12:8-10

Christian Living

As Christians, we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully.
Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14

Expressions of Worship

We seek to worship God in Sprit and in truth according to the 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."
