Mission:
Abundant Life exists to empower people to live a God First life.
Guiding Principles:
God has called us at Abundant Life to live out the great commission (Matthew 28:18-20) by embracing two key principles that govern the decisions we make as a church. Abundant Life is a God-First church that embodies an Accepting Atmosphere.
God-First
God-First is our foundational value that expresses itself in the following ways:
> Experiential Worship - Places value on encountering God through songs. We don’t just sing about God, but to Him in an environment that invites His presence.
> Authentic Relationships - Real relationships that establish heartfelt community.
> Strategic Service - Where your unique gifting and calling matches your area of service.
> Impactful Evangelism - Goes beyond just influencing people, it’s reaching them for Christ and connecting them to a local church.
Accepting Atmosphere
Accepting Atmosphere is our cultural value that incorporates the following:
> Diverse - A beautiful church that looks like heaven with every nation and race welcomed.
> Genuinely Sincere - No masks, no undue formality, no pretense.
> Comfortably Friendly - Not overly friendly and weird, just relaxed and at ease in how everyone is received.
> Intellectually Safe - Leading people through deliberate explanation into an understanding of their experience.
> Outward Focused - Because “once you’re focused inward it’s over.”
