WELCOME

On behalf of our church family, I’d like to extend a special welcome to our visitors.


My hope and prayer for visitors and regular attendees is that our interactions will bring glory to God. 

Our church is a place where everyone is welcome to worship no matter what their background

or how they choose to express themselves.


Your presence in our congregation is truly a blessing, and we look forward to praying, celebrating, 

and coming together as a community in the eyes of our Lord.


If you would like to take part in any of our ministries at Abiding Presence Church,

please contact Pastor Robert Schoepflin at 631-269-6454.
