What We Believe
The Bible is God's Word to all men.
God is the Creator & Ruler of the universe. He exists in three personalities-- Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
The Unseen World is made up of two kingdoms - the Kingdom of God & the kingdom of darkness.
Mankind is created in the image and likeness of God but has been separated from God by sin.
Acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord & Savior is God's only plan of Salvation.
Jesus is our Substitute. He became...
Sin so that we could be made righteous.
A curse so that we could be redeemed.
Sick so that we could be healed.
Poor so that we could be made rich.
Water Baptism is an outward profession of a person's inward commitment to Jesus Christ as Savior.
Believers should be baptized in the Holy Spirit, speak with other tongues and experience the gifts of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
Communion is received in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice for us.
God is good. He is for us - not against us. He does not use tragedy, illness or acts of nature to teach us.
It is God's will that believers prosper and be in health.
God answers prayer & cares about every area of our lives.
God heals through believers "laying hands on the sick in prayer" according to Mark 16.
The Christian lifestyle should agree with God's Word.
Church attendance & involvement is necessary for developing a well-balanced Christian life.
Tithing should be a part of every Christian's life.
The Great Commission compels us to share Jesus Christ with others!
Jesus Christ will return to the earth, and believers will reign together with Him!

About Our Pastors
With a call on their lives to teach people how to live the abundant life that Jesus came to give, Pastors Charles and Rochelle Nieman began teaching in a small railroad hall in El Paso, Texas with only 25 people. Since those days of small beginnings, God has honored His Word to Charles and Rochelle for maintaining the vision and integrity to the ministry to which they are called. Charles and Rochelle pastor Abundant Living Faith Center with a current weekly attendance of over 7,500 and an active membership of over 12,000.
With cutting-edge methods and relevant, uncompromising messages, the commitment and passion of Charles and Rochelle have impacted thousands of lives. Charles and Rochelle both travel the world teaching the message of God’s abundant life. But, their true passion lies in pastoring their great church in El Paso, Texas.
Charles and Rochelle have been happily married and best friends and partners in life and ministry, since 1970. They have two children, Shannon and Jared. Shannon and Jared, alongside with their parents, have also dedicated their lives to and work in the ministry of Abundant Living Faith Center.
"As a family, we purpose to make a difference in people’s lives. This is the driving force of everything that we do and the heartbeat of Abundant Living Faith Center." Pastor Charles Nieman

I used to listen to everything, but lately i cut out all the crap. I mostly listen to movie soundtracks and scores as well as classical and christian music. 75% of what I listen to is self improvment or talk radio shows. I firmly believe in Automobile University and make excellent use of it.
