Happiness consists in giving and in serving others  

SENIOR PASTORS DARON AND JOY HUDSPETH

The Hudspeths began the Abundant Life family in October 2002.  Their greatest joy in life is seeing people develop a relationship with God, better themselves, and then in turn, begin to serve others.  They live by the motto that the most rewarding life is one that is lived to serve others.

Pastor Daron is an ordained minister and graduated from Christian Life College in California in 1992.  He served as Assistant Pastor in Duncan, Oklahoma, for three years, before joining the ministry team at The Anchor in San Diego, California, where he served in various capacities for eight years. They have been pastoring Abundant Life for eight years.

They are parents of three wonderful children: Jordan - 18 years old; Landon -14 yrs old; and Ashton - 10 yrs old.
