Our Pastor

David M. Reever became Senior Pastor of Abundant Life Church in the fall of 1997. His formal ministry began in youth ministry in Jackson, Mississippi in 1982. He graduated from Jackson College of Ministries with Bachelor of Arts in Theology in 1984. From 1991 until his move to Baltimore, Pastor Reever served as a full-time traveling evangelist. He also serves presently as the District Superintendent of the Maryland/DC District UPCI, as well as the NorthEast Regional Director of the North American Missions UPCI. 

In the summer of 1988, David and Christina Carr committed to each other in marriage. Christina was reared in a pastor’s home and graduated from Jackson College of Ministries with Bachelor of Arts in Theology with a minor in Missions. She serves as Associate Pastor of Abundant Life Church.

God has blessed the Reevers with two children, Brooke and Ashton. Family time is a priority for them, and favorite recreational activities include reading and history for Christina and sightseeing for David. They both also enjoy walking, and sharing memories whenever they get the chance. Their life commitment is for their family to glorify God and make a difference in their world.

What the Bible says about:

The scriptures help us better understand who God is, who we are in Him, and His plan for our life.

If you are interested in learning more about the Bible, you can join a Bible study group or have someone meet you one-on-one to answer any questions you may have. 

God

There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man. (See Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16.)

The Bible

The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living. (See II Timothy 3:15-17.)

Sin and Salvation

Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. (See Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9.)

The Gospel

The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (II Thessalonians 1:8; I Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance (resurrection). (See I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4.)

Christian Living

As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today. (See Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10.)

The Future

Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death. (See I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15.)
