Abundant Grace
Church

Where lives are transformed by the power
of God's grace!


Definitely not “Church as usual”


Regular Service at 10:00 a.m. Sunday mornings
Spirit-led prayer gathering 1:30 to 3:30 PM on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month


Abundant Grace has an interactive service with a congregational involvement format:


1.
We encourage open worship through the active participation of all church members in worship services. We believe audible, uninhibited public worship is an appropriate expression of our joy in the Lord and encourages people to enjoy a rich and intimate experience of God.

2. We advocate courteous and respectful open sharing by all members of the congregation during the service. (We believe traditional services, in which all communication is pre-planned and centralized at the pulpit, deters believers from sharing fully in each other's lives and in the life of the congregation)

3.
We are committed to supporting opportunities for development of individual ministry so that each member of the congregation is able to participate in the ministry he or she is called to, whether within the church or outside of it.

4. Pastors have a very significant role in the church, and we strongly support them in the authority of their call from God to shepherd His people. We believe their function should be to primarily equip the saints for the work of the ministry.


 

    Our church vision:
    To develop a church community  where dynamic life-changing transformation is experienced through the truth of God’s word, the grace available through Christ Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit!  


    Our mission: 
    First: To resolutely embrace the miraculous transformation of the soul available to us by the power of the Holy Spirit.

    Second: To steadfastly surrender to this process of sanctification allowing the Holy Spirit to develop within us Christ-like character and godly inspiration in the use of our creative giftings.

    Third: To go out into our own communities and illustrate through Spirit-led applications of God’s  giftings, the abundance of God’s grace for the salvation of souls.
    

    Our Beliefs:
    We believe in one eternal God who exists as three separate persons; the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    We believe the bible to be the inspired word of God, infallible and authoritative. 

    We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came to earth, died for our sins, and rose again. Through His death on the cross and resurrection from the dead, we are now free from the curse of sin and death. 

    We believe it is essential for man to repent of his sin and by faith receive God’s grace through the finished work of Christ for the salvation of his soul. 

    We believe that by this same grace, the Holy Spirit continues to sanctify our soul, making righteous living possible as we are increasingly conformed to the image of Christ, who is our model for holy living.

    Our Worship:
   
   
Our praise and worship songs are a mix of contemporary songs and songs created as the Spirit gives us illumination at the moment. There will not always be a prepared sermon; our sermon may be the Lord speaking through us individually and corporately as we worship Him.
     In addition to
praising and worshipping the Lord by singing prearranged songs - we look to the Holy Spirit for the form of praise and worship that God desires for us to express, whether it be in word, instrument, song, or other presentation.
    Our desire is to follow the momentary leading of the Holy Spirit in worship, that we might, most effectively and directly, respond to the immediate will of God for this body of believers and His purpose through us.




    Our open ministry vision:

    1. We believe that it is God’s desire to raise up Christian leadership to establish Spirit-led open ministry  throughout the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area.

    2. One of our goals at Abundant Grace Church is to facilitate the fulfillment of this vision through ongoing discipleship and ministry opportunities within this church.

    3. We believe that as we allow and encourage active lay-ministry participation in the services and activities of this church the Holy Spirit will produce the individual spiritual growth necessary in Christians to assume ministerial leadership positions.

    4. We support active lay-ministry, whether attached or unattached to the organized church as an essential ingredient for the development of Christian leadership qualities.

    5. By the Spirit’s leading we will support and send forth ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to begin
Spirit-led ministry for the purpose of bringing glory to God.




Upcoming Events

 
  
Women's Bible Study Group - Meeting every 2nd and 4th Monday of the month.

     Power of Grace Prayer Night - Power of Grace is a Spirit-led ministry of prayer, focused on forcefully advancing God’s kingdom by the leading and power of the Holy Spirit through prayers for spiritual victory,  personal encouragement and emotional and physical healing.

   Just as it is vitally important for believers to individually seek the Lord on a regular and personal basis, this body of believers is available to support that relationship through prayer and inspiration.
   Because prayer is essential during times of contentment as well as during times of difficulty in our lives, we believe there are significant benefits to receiving prayer support during every season of our lives.

    If you desire personal prayer ministry, come meet with us on July 17th - 6:00pm to 8:30pm)


       This year's adult retreat at Eagles Rest, 30 minutes north of Brainerd, will be from Friday morning September 26th through Sunday the 28th - 1PM. 




     About the Pastor:

     God led R. Thomas Brass to establish Jericho Ministry in 1995 and serve as a spiritual counselor at Minnesota Teen Challenge, Love Lines Crisis Center, and with clients seen at the home office for Pastoral Counseling.  Many lives have been transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit through this ministry! 

    Now, God has placed in Tom’s heart a vision to share the life-giving message of transforming grace through Abundant Grace Church. Tom's qualifications for ministry are not through achievement in academic institutions but entirely by God's calling and God's grace!
