Abundant Life Church was originally founded as Lauderdale Christian Life Centre under the leadership of Ps George & Pat Muskett. In the following years, it became Energizer Life Church under Ps Kevin Towns and later Ps John & AJ Crane; and in 2007, the name was again changed to Abundant Life Church, under Senior Pastors Matt & Karen Sharples.

Together Matt & Karen head up a team of Elders, Board, Connect Group leaders & Department leaders who all have specific roles within the church. We believe in a church where EVERY person is a leader in their own right, leading people from their own sphere of influence; and where EVERY person is living out the calling God has for their lives.
