By God’s grace, Abundant Life Community Church exists to bring people to wholeness through God’s grace. We do this by creating a loving, cross-generational environment where the Name of Jesus and His Word are exalted in our church, neighborhood, community, and the world.
Denomination
Abundant Life Community Church has never had any denominational affiliation. As a community church, we welcome people from any church background, or those with no church background at all! We believe that we are united under the grace of God, secured for us through Jesus Christ, and that is our emphasis during our times together.
Statement of Faith
The Bible
We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of man, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life. Although we preach primarily from the CSB (Christian Standard Bible), you will find our church members reading from one of many different translations. We just love God’s Word, no matter the translation!
God
We believe in one God, creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus
We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for the sins of all men, according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where at the right hand of the Father He is now our High Priest and Advocate.
The Holy Spirit
We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and to convict men, regenerate the believing sinner, and indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service.
Man
We believe that man is created in the image of God, but fell into sin and is therefore lost. Only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can he obtain salvation and spiritual life.
Salvation
We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only means for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, and thus become children of God.
Sacraments
We believe that the Lord’s supper and water baptism are acts of obedience to be observed by the church during this present age. We serve communion every Sunday. ALCC offers “open” communion, meaning everyone is welcome to participate as they feel led.
The Church
We believe that the true Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the Body of Christ, of which He is the head. We believe in the association of true believers in local congregations for the purposes of instruction in the faith, fellowship with one another, and organized outreach to the unbelieving world.
The Second Coming
We believe in the personal and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and that this “blessed hope” has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.
Resurrection
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, and of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment without Him.
