Whereas, preaching the Word of God which is a lamp unto the feet and a light to the pathway for all mankind, the church can find protection, preservation, and provision for excellent leadership; and
Whereas, in 1993, the Abundant Life Outreach Child Development Center opened its doors, and in 1994, the elementary school phase was added; and
Whereas, in 1998, "Pastor Cynthia," as she was affectionately known, established and taught a one-year enrichment course for those who aspired to enter ministry or to further their spiritual growth, and the program graduated students from within the church, as well as pastors and ministry leaders from other local churches; and
