Our Mission and Vision
Abundant Life Ministries is a community of collaboration focused on health, healing, worship and loving service. We are affiliated with the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina and in partnership with Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit and other local churches and organizations.
Our Mission is to build bridges and community-level relationships to increase collective body-mind-spirit health in the face of widespread mental illness, violence, generational poverty and social marginalization.
Our Vision is of a more connected community where neighbors seek, advocate for, and co-create conditions where equitable access to housing, health care, and flourishing are available to all.
We affirm and embrace our neighbors who are refugees and immigrants, of all religions, faiths, sexualities and gender expressions as we love, serve, and grow together into a more beloved community.

Every Tuesday during this pandemic, we deliver dinner, groceries, diapers and other supplies to our neighbors, pray over the phone and in yards, and connect our nurse to uninsured people needing support.
Volunteer
Cooks, delivery drivers, gardeners, pantry managers, donations drives, and leaders to help identify the gifts of those ready to help are all needed!
Donate
Contributions support community development, nutritional access, and health service connection.
Our Guiding Faith
