Our Mission
Our Mission at Abundant Life Lutheran Church is to serve and support all who worship here. Abundant Life is a small mission driven church, determined to accommodate the needs of our congregants. With every effort made to ensure that all will find compassion and understanding, and acceptance within Abundant Life Lutheran Church. To make this small church family, an extended family to everyone we are blessed to meet. To provide an inclusive worship service that speaks to the needs of all who might be drawn to worship. Especially those who might otherwise feel uncomfortable in a more corporate worship service. We treasure each of our members. Each is special and fills a need in our membership. We are blessed by God. We hope and pray we can be a blessing to you too. Come join us in worship at Abundant Life Lutheran. Help us fulfill our mission to serve those in need. As we are all in need of the Lord.
Here at Abundant Life there are ample provisions for handicapped access. Once inside there is the flexibility in the sanctuary for allowing a wheelchair bound congregant to enjoy the service from wherever they wish. We can reconfigure the seating easily to accommodate their preferences. We reach out to the physically disabled in our community with love and understanding. Thankful that they have found the strength on Sunday to overcome their difficulties and join in bible study and in the worship of the Lord. We do truly feel that God does not give us more than we each can handle. How much more faith doe HE have in them that have to cope with so much adversity? What we can learn from people dealing with a disability about strength and faith is a great blessing at Abundant Life.
Large print and Braille Sunday worship bulletins are available for any who may be dealing with vision impairments. We reach out to the blind and vision impaired in our community with a safe place to worship where their challenges are understood. Our congregation welcomes guide dogs gladly and respects their important work in service to their owners. We are thankful to have in our presence those who must see with their heart and praise God for all that those with a sight impairment can teach us about really seeing what is important about those around us.

Our Mission in action
If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.
