Loving God Fully

At Abiding Word Church, we believe that our primary focus should be on loving God fully. We offer dynamic and meaningful worship services where we can come together as a community to praise and worship our Lord.


Through powerful sermons, uplifting music, and heartfelt prayer, we seek to deepen our connection with God and grow in our faith.

BACK TO CHURCH SUNDAY

In a world where so many people feel lonely and disconnected, the Church remains a place where people can experience love, hope, healing, and authentic community.

Join us for Back to Church Sunday on September 20 at 8:30 or 10:30 AM. This special Sunday is designed for you to invite friends and family who may not regularly attend church.

We'll have powerful worship, an encouraging sermon, a Dirty Soda Bar, and Cliff’s Cider Donuts from Selmi’s. Let’s fill the house with people who need to know that there is a place for them—and that Jesus changes everything!

SUN/SEPT 27th

LED SERMON SERIES

Every believer has the privilege of being led by the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is not merely a doctrine to understand, but the very presence of God within us, guiding us into His will, strengthening our faith, and helping us walk in the purpose He has prepared for our lives. In a world filled with competing voices, distractions, and uncertainty, learning to recognize the leading of the Spirit is essential. This devotional has been designed to help you slow down, open your heart to God, and become more sensitive to His voice and direction.


The Digital companion devotional available now.
