Join the Family of Abide

Help us disciple the next generation by joining our monthly Family of Abide, or make a first-time gift to help teens know Jesus, grow deeper, and lead boldly.

Every week, Abide With Us creates space for teens to encounter Jesus, grow in community, and discover who they are in Christ. Through your partnership, we are building a ministry that is founded on discipleship, presence, and the power of the Gospel.

Your giving supports seven key areas that make Abide possible:

Gatherings & Retreats: Thursday nights are the heartbeat of Abide. These nights are filled with worship, teaching, prayer, and real community. We gather weekly to help teens grow deeper in their faith, surrounded by leaders who know them by name. Stand Firm Saturdays invite teens to build faith and community through Scripture, fellowship, and fun. Abide Together Nights unite families for worship and community, and Rooted Retreat calls teens away from distraction to encounter the presence of God. Every gathering, whether big or small, exists to draw teens closer to Jesus and to one another.

Outreach & Evangelism: We are launching our outreach initiative called Project Groundwork. We are mapping Walton County into zones and sending teams into neighborhoods to clean up, pray with families, share the Gospel, and find needs we can meet. This county-wide outreach effort will lead directly into our care and compassion projects, connecting practical help with the hope of Jesus.

We are also launching See You at the Table, an initiative that brings Abide into local schools through teen-led gatherings guided by adult leaders. These daily and weekly meet-ups give teens a chance to pray together, study Scripture, and share the Gospel right on their campuses. We are praying that this will grow into many tables across our county, each one a place of light, prayer, and discipleship in the middle of everyday school life.

Another part of our mission to reach Walton County and surrounding areas is our Community Worship Nights, where people of all ages come together to worship, pray, and encounter Jesus. These nights are held in public spaces and local venues and serve as a bridge between the church and the community. They provide opportunities for teens to help lead in worship, share testimonies, and invite their friends and families to experience the love and presence of God. Each worship night is both an act of outreach and a reminder that Jesus is moving in our cities and uniting His people under one name.

Abide Team: The Abide Team is made up of leaders, mentors, and staff who pour into teens week after week through worship, discipleship, and leadership training. Your giving helps sustain those who serve faithfully to equip this generation for Kingdom impact.

A major part of this investment is The Table, our teen discipleship and leadership pathway that is shaping the next generation of Christ-centered leaders. Through The Table, teens are rooted in Scripture, trained to lead, and equipped to live on mission in their schools, homes, and communities. Every meeting, challenge, and conversation is designed to help young leaders grow in faith, character, and calling so they can lead others to Jesus.

As Abide grows, we are preparing to expand the team to include interns and future staff, ensuring that the mission continues to multiply and that every teen has someone walking alongside them.

Care & Compassion: We believe ministry is love in action. Through your support, Abide will complete home projects, acts of service, and opportunities to love our neighbors in practical ways. We also partner with local organizations like Open Door Pantry to extend compassion even further. Every gift makes it possible to meet needs quickly and remind families they are not alone.

Digital Discipleship: The mission of Abide extends far beyond Thursday nights. Online, we are planting seeds of faith where teens already spend their time. Through weekly devotionals, teen testimonies, Scripture graphics, short-form teaching videos, and creative resources, we are using technology to share truth and help teens abide in Christ daily. We believe digital platforms can be used as tools for discipleship, encouragement, and evangelism, helping this generation stay rooted and reach their friends.

Spaces to Gather: Every movement needs space to grow. Right now, we are grateful to gather weekly at Church at the Bay and throughout our community. We are also praying and planning toward a future home. A dedicated space designed for worship, discipleship, community meals, and outreach. Each gift helps us move closer to creating environments where teens can gather safely, grow deeply, and encounter God freely.

Future Vision: The story of Abide has only just begun. We are dreaming ahead with faith and believing God will provide a permanent gathering space, vehicles for outreach, and the resources to expand the reach of Abide into new communities. The Table will continue to multiply, raising leaders who can plant, serve, and lead in future Abide locations. As we partner with local government and organizations to serve Walton County, we believe the seeds being planted today will one day become a movement that impacts families, schools, and cities across this region.

Every dollar given helps teens know Jesus personally, grow deeper in faith, and lead boldly where they are.

Whether you give monthly as part of the Family of Abide or make a first-time gift, we are grateful for your generosity!
