The Temple – The Bridge
We believe a church should be a welcoming place for all who would come.  Because Jesus Christ was a “friend of sinners” we seek to be a place where the unchurched and spiritually unresolved feel welcome.  Our passion is to allow each person an opportunity to check out the truth claims of Jesus Christ in a friendly and culturally relevant environment.  This is why we offer different kinds of services.   
Because we honor and celebrate the wonderful diversity represented in our community we have discovered that multiple services allow us freedom as we seek to be who God created us to be.  We remain one church with one common vision.  Our message of hope and salvation is the thread that links all our services together. 

We believe that God loves all different kinds of people and we seek to connect with people in the environment that best meets their needs.  Sadly, most churches force people to fit into a box that is built around their cultural or generational preferences.  This oftentimes unintentionally builds a wall and closes some people out. 

Multi-generational families find themselves divided, as one generation feels drawn to a church with a comfortable and familiar style to them while others in the same family feel a need to go some place else that meets their needs. 

At ABT we are committed to uniting the generations around a common vision.  That vision is simple.  It is driven by faith in God and our belief that there is “Real Hope for Real People in a Real World.”  No matter who you are or what you have done, God loves you and wants to have a relationship with you. 

Although we may worship differently and be separated by generational comfort zones, we are united around this common message of hope.  During the message both services are linked by a live video feed and our common passion for the message of hope unites us. 

We are one church with one message.  We have made a choice to value and honor our differences rather then allowing them to divide us.  We find this idea to be refreshing and healthy. 

We are one church with one vision willing to love and accept all people!
