Pastor Michael Garber and Family
Our Pastor is faithfully supported by his wonderful wife Wendy and their two daughters, Megan and Kelly.
Pastor Garber has a great Love of God and the ministry God has called him to. His wife has always got a smile on her face and she will make the most shy warm up quickly and feel at ease. She supports her husband in all that he does including singing and playing the keyboard. Their daughters can put a smile on anyones face, even a person who is down. They both are true gifts from God. Our church is blessed to have this family as our Pastor and Spiritual Leaders and you can listen to His Sermons and Bible Studies in our Recorded Services Portal!
Abundant Life Apostolic Church
We are a Spirit Filled Apostolic Pentecostal Church located in Sidney, Ohio in Shelby County. It is our desire that all get to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and King and to reach out to our neighbors in Sidney, Shelby County and beyond. This website is just but one tool in getting the gospel of Our Lord Jesus's message of hope out to the world and it's an online place to find out what is going on in our church. Here as this site grows, you will find words from our pastor and testimonies of the things God is doing in the lives of the members. You will find pictures from various functions, services, revivals, baptisms, and pictures submitted by the church family. We will include messages from our Pastor, Michael Garber, and gems to help make the walk with Jesus a little more easier, so please check back as the Church and the site grows. We are affliated with the United Pentecostal Church International.

A Message From our Pastor
I want to thank you for visiting our website. We pray that it will be a blessing to you and your Family. Here at Abundant Life we are always glad to have you as our guest. The people here are friendly and outgoing. You will feel right at home the moment you walk in the doors.
The world around us is changing at every moment. The news media is constantly updating us on the most recent bad news, or how bad the economy is. We are surrounded on every side by the cares of this life. Jesus Declares to us that the Thief cometh not, but for to steal, to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life and have it more Abundantly. If you need more Joy and Peace in your life, there is a place of sanctuary and refuge at Abundant Life. Not because I am Pastor, but because this gospel message works, and because our people have a heart of worship. You WILL FEEL the presence of God as you lift up your hands and worship. God inhabits the praises of his people, and he further declares that " If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto Me". Come and experience what God can do for YOU! Salvation is available for all those that will hunger and thirst after righteousness. The Bible Declares in John 8:36 That Whom the Son has set free, is free indeed! You can have this Freedom! There are many resources available to you here on this Website that can get you started in the right direction. WE hope to see you soon At Abundant Life. God Bless you and keep you, and make his face to shine upon you.
