ABOUT

At ABC we believe that we are called to help others face life’s challenges together and care for those in need around us. We do this both in our church and community in practical ways, studies, and opportunities.

VISITATION

ABC has several chaplains in addition to our pastoral staff that visit in the case of a family emergency, illness, or death in the family. To request a visit please click HERE or contact the church office (805)466-2051.


Marriage

Our goal in providing pastoral counseling is to help you meet the challenges of life in a way that will please and honor the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 10:31) and in a way that will bring you the greatest joy and satisfaction (John 15:11). 

BIBLICAL BASIS
We believe that the Bible provides thorough guidance and instruction for faith and life (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:3). Therefore, our counseling is based upon scriptural principles and a biblical worldview. Our counselors are not trained or licensed as psychotherapists or mental health professionals, nor should they be expected to follow the methods as such specialists.

If you would like to contact our Marriage Ministry, please submit the following form and you will be contacted.
