The Abundant Life Church is based in Bradford and has a thriving congregation of around 3000 attending services each week including a wide mix of ages, cultures and backgrounds.
After a 25-year history, in the late 1990s we entered a time of great change which has become known as our 'crossing over'. Our heart was to build a relevant 21st Century Church that expresses God's heart and reaches the lost, both in our city and across the world.
Our 'Crossing Over' journey was such a key time for us that the story has been told in the book 'Crossing Over', and in the 'Landmark Series', which contains the teachings that explain the principles fundamental to our transition.
Since that time our church has exploded into growth as we changed the culture to be God-centred, purpose-driven and people-empowering. This caused our 'new breed' church to flourish as we started to reach out and practically express God's love to the people we do life with in our communities. Our passion is to reach people who don't yet know God and help them find a relationship with their creator.
We also have a heart to equip and resource the church worldwide and do this through our regular television programme which is broadcast into 220 countries, we host a range of conferences, Abundant Life Music and our growing range of teaching resources.
