Contact Josh & Kelly
Josh has been attending church all of his life. Even from childhood, he has been conscious of spiritual things. Although Josh did not walk in the light of what he knew and went astray, he re-dedicated his life to God in his early twenties. During that time he answered the call of God on his life to teach the Word of God without compromise. Primarily, he ministers on the subjects of Faith and Healing. Josh often preaches from the 5th chapter of Mark concerning the woman with the issue of blood and the story of Jairus’ daughter; he uses these two stories from the Bible to encourage people to act on God’s Word. Even though the crisis of life comes to all of us, Josh exhorts people to trust in Jesus.
Josh and Kelly have been married since April of 2008. They do not have children, but they do have plenty of animals. They are a rather simple couple that enjoys doing things like working and playing on the farm. They are involved in Cornerstone Ranch, which is an organization that ministers to special needs children by method of horseback riding.

Contact Stacy
Stacy Arnold has been married since August of 2002. They have one beautiful daughter that was recently adopted from Russia. They also have an english bulldog who is treated better than most children.
God has guided Stacy through many trials and hard times. Things have not always been easy but God has always made a way for her to overcome. Through these difficult times, she always knew that God had a plan for their lives but it took a long time to find out what that was. This verse in Jeremiah has been a guiding force in her life:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
Stacy has looked to this verse many times for motivation and encouragement. It was this verse that motivated her to answer the call to the ministry in 2009. Her purpose in ministry is to encourage others that God has a perfect plan and future for her. Her ministry is based firmly in this belief and she wants to encourage others that it is not just for her but for everyone. |
Chris recently graduated college in 2008 where many life experiences and wonderful people changed his life. His eyes were opened to the fact that he had discounted many people by appearances and first impressions in the past. God used the experiences and new friends to show him that ALL of us are God’s children and that we all belong to Him.
Chris is constantly reminded of God's Love for His children in John 13:34 where it says, "I give you a new commandment - to love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another." He now takes this verse in mind and tries to apply it in his life everyday in order to see everyone the way God sees them. |

 Gary “Red” Alexander has attended Abundant Life since 1978. He and Jackie Alexander were married in 1995 and have four children.
Red spent the majority of his adult life as a bored Christian. His life seemed to have no real purpose. Then God radically changed his life in 2008. His life now has meaning and purpose. Reaching people with the life giving message of Jesus is the only thing that fulfills him now.
Red wants people to know that Abundant Life is not about religion, fancy suits, or big offerings. It doesn’t matter about your background or what side of the tracks you’re from. He wants everyone to come just as they are and join us as we worship God with sincere expression.
