Abundant Life Church (ALC) was founded by Pastor Leroy Theard Jr. on February 28, 1994 with the assistance and

support of his wife and Co-Pastor, Lisa Theard. In its infancy, the membership was 14 members strong. The first

location of ALC was on Chef Menteur Highway and then Dowman Road. Since it's founding, ALC has seen it's

congregational membership grow to well over 200 members and now makes its home at 9900 Hayne Blvd.

Through dynamic teaching and diligent teamwork, ALC is strong and growing.
