This is why Abundant Life Ministries exists.
We believe in the church. Especially the cell-based church. The church is God's agent to make known the message of good news in Jesus Christ. We believe it is a place of joyful worship, fellowship, and many other great things. We believe in solid charismatic-reformed theology. By charismatic we mean we believe in the baptism and filling of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8, 2:4, Eph 5:18, etc.). We believe that the gifts of the Spirit are still for today. By reformed we mean that salvation is of the Lord and continued by the Lord all of our days.
We believe in the work of the local church. We are here to promote, extend, and build up the church. We are here to facilitate the starting of new churches based on the biblical model of cell groups and large group worship (Acts 2:42-47, 20:20). We are here to serve as a consultant, catalyst, and an encourager in the great task of the New Testament church.
We believe in counseling from the Bible. The power of the Word of God to change lives is amazing. As a pastor-teacher, I trust far more in Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and prayer to effect change than in the latest pop psychology, whether it wears a Christian label or not.
