A Brief History

From seven members at Milford Mill Academy in 2004 to our own house on Liberty Road — Abundant Grace has grown in number and in spirit, and the journey below tells it step by step.

“I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” — Matthew 16:18

Our vision

To be a church that glorifies God by loving Him wholeheartedly, loving others as oneself, and making disciples for Christ both in words and in deed.

Our mission

We seek to build a multicultural fellowship of believers where everyone who comes will experience the love of Jesus Christ, the grace of His Cross and the favor of God the Father, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Incorporated in Maryland, October 16, 2003 · First worship service August 25, 2004 with seven members · Financial members of the Baptist Convention of Maryland and Delaware · Owning our sanctuary on Liberty Road since December 7, 2014

Statement of Faith

Historic Baptist doctrine, plainly stated.

Our promise to one another

Church Covenant

  1. Having been led by the Spirit of God to receive Jesus Christ as our Savior, we solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another as one body in Christ.

  2. We will walk together in brotherly love, exercise care and watchfulness over one another, and faithfully admonish and entreat one another as occasion may require.

  3. We will not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, nor neglect to pray for ourselves and others.

  4. We will contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the gospel through all nations.

  5. We will, when we remove from this place, as soon as possible unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God's Word.
