In the Wake of an Election

I pray that you are doing well on this important election week. The voting polls are now closed, and I hope you exercised your individual right to vote.

Our Need for Progress

It Takes a Team

If you haven’t heard, we currently have a large team of AV professionals working tirelessly to install a brand new custom designed PA system inside our worship center.

Welcoming for the Glory of God

Every time I go on a road trip, I find myself making the same stop. It does not matter the direction I’m driving, I will usually pull over to walk into a Buc-ee’s convenience store. Of course, I’m not the only one making that stop. Many of you are making that stop with me becauseContinue reading “Welcoming for the Glory of God”

Psalm 78:4 says, “We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done.” Here at ABC, we are committed to communicating the truth of God’s Word with the coming generation. Jesus tells us that a lamp in a house isContinue reading “Light Up Your Home”
