hall (paved lot). Handicapped parking and a ramp are available between

Who is welcome at Abney Memorial?
Everyone! We understand that churches are made up of people and no one among
us is perfect. We also understand the Biblical principle that "all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God". However, Abney Memorial is open to any
person who comes truly seeking God. Though we hold to the principles set forth
in the Bible, we realize that everyone needs a relationship with Jesus Christ.
We make no distinction based on race, creed, denominational affiliation, or background.
Therefore, come and you just may find what you're looking for!
After the service:
Pastor Ted and Charlene are always available after the service to greet you and
answer any questions you may have. We also have counselors available to answer
questions you may have.
