Writing articles for the paper for over a year now, the question arose has it been established who this author is and what this church is about? Abundant Grace Church is a Bible-believing (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Matthew 4:4; Hebrews 4:12), tongue-talking (1 Corinthians 14:39; 1 Corinthians 14:2; Acts 10:46), non-denominational, book of Acts church that is a training facility and forward operating base for the army of God to impact the world. Our church is located at 740 Crosslin Street in Sparta, TN. For those unfamiliar with Crosslin Street, it is off Highway 111, connecting to Walker Cove Road (near Huddle House). Our church mission statement is to lead people to experience and enjoy life now, not just for the life to come through the victory given to the soldiers of the cross. Abundant Grace Church is committed to ministering the life of God to those who are bound to addictions, oppressed with sickness, winning the lost to Jesus Christ, and equipping the saints of God through preaching and teaching the reality of the redemptive work and purpose of Jesus Christ. To also develop and present the life of God in character and conduct through trained disciples and leaders who reflect the love of God. As previously stated, our church is a Word church. Studying and applying the Word of God is the key to discipleship, salvation, and victory through Christ Jesus. Not only does Abundant Grace Church read the Word of God, but study the Word into the deeper context and definitions of what is being stated throughout all of the Word. For those that may have heard in years past, there are no snakes anywhere on the premises unless they are outside hiding. Hopefully, each reader can detect the humor in the previous statement. Our church endeavors to live holy and clean but display the joy and fun that Christians should have while living on the earth as examples of the transformation that can take place when allowing God to be the center of one’s life. We are not a social club but a church family that worships and serves God together while taking the Word of God to our community. That has been the driving factor for the articles from this church and ministry is to see the Word of God go forth in every avenue across this region and do our part to fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15). The pastor of Abundant Grace Church is Caleb Andrews. I was born again at the age of 6 and grew up serving in denominational churches (one of the many reasons I enjoy fellowshipping with various denominations and Christians no matter their background) and answered the call to preach in 2006. A veteran having served in Afghanistan and having been stationed in Fort Knox, Kentucky, and Fort Polk, Louisiana, created a major training ground for understanding the spiritual warfare aspects of the Bible. Being led by God my family and I moved back to Tennessee to serve under our pastor, Pastor Chris McMichael in Cookeville and were sent out to pastor at Abundant Grace Church in Sparta in 2021. For more information about Abundant Grace Church or Pastor Caleb visit agcsparta.org. The church and I would enjoy you coming to worship God and learn more about His Word with us. Sunday School is at 9:30 a.m., Sunday service at 10:30 a.m., Sunday PM service at 6:00 p.m., and Thursday PM service at 6:30 p.m. We hope to see you there.
