The Abundant Life Network

Alan & Lydia Vance

"ALC has been a life-line to us since we took over the role of Senior Pastors at Bromley Christian Centre six years ago.  Since then the church has grown steadily to over 500 people attending our regular weekly services, and the growth continues…..

Our connections with ALC, particularly the conferences “Cherish”, “Xcel”, and “Stronger”, have been a tremendous blessing and a major contribution to our growth both spiritually and numerically."

"Over 3 years ago we went to look for wisdom and a model for our life and ministry. We went out seeking to learn from a bigger vision, not to copy it, but to see beyond our present limitations. What we found was much more than we expected; precious and stronger things - friends and fathers who are a great example and encouragement for us to become all that God is calling us to be here in Lodz, Poland.

When I visited ALC for the first time my heart cried out ‘this is exactly what I dream for my city in Poland’ . And this is exactly what I belive. Being a part of your vision will help us to extend the Kingdom of God in Poland like never before, with absolutely new ways of thinking. It is wonderful to be a part of the Abundant Life Network. Thank you very much and bless you."

"Our connection with ALC has grown over five years and we have been with the Network for the last two. This has been a wonderfully refreshing and enabling experience. Being connected to something bigger without feeling controlled, and able to draw on the wisdom and resources both within the team and across the Network has strengthened and encouraged us through our own “crossing over”.

The conferences have been a tremendously valuable source of encouragement to all our people who have been privileged to attend and the servant heart demonstrated across the Church has inspired us to aim higher.

We have particularly valued the insight and boldness of Paul and Charlotte’s ministry which has spoken so clearly into our situation just when we needed it. Thank you for your willingness to serve the Church. Thank you breaking out of the old breed and modelling the new. Thank you for encouraging us that we weren’t alone, crazy and rebellious and that we wouldn’t die in the transition!"

"The parallel between our transitional journey as a church with that of ALC’s has been remarkable.  Our initial connection point several years ago helped to solidify our belief that we hadn’t totally lost the plot as a church, but that God was redefining his church through new generation thinking. Over the past few years we have benefited greatly through the Network relationship, both through ALCs continuing brave quest for new breed church and the voice of communication which brings such revelational insight to leading 21st century church.

If ever there was a provisional relationship to be pursued for us at TCC, it was Paul and the team at ALC. Thanks guys for your continued courage to BECOME!"

Xcel Church, UK

"We have known Paul, Glenda and their amazing team for five or six years and as soon as we 'connected' with them, we felt that we were colliding with destiny.

As leaders of a 'non-denominational' church we feel that our alignment with Abundant Life Church has been a great blessing and has added so much to our lives so being a part of the Network seemed to us the most natural thing for us to do.

Some of the benefits of being part of the network include: A sense of 'connection' to something bigger and that we are on a similar journey. Encouragement to go for our dreams. A pool of resources from which to draw from as leaders and as a church. Inspiration and knowledge from people who have often been further and have expertise in certain areas. As we sow into something larger, we feel that we are 'blessed by association'. This is hard to quantify, but we believe it has made a difference to our church in a positive way!!

Being a part of the Abundant Life Network is about connecting with like minded people to help build great local churches in the UK and beyond. We love it!"
