Reunion Agenda

The Abbott Loop Family

For all who have been blessed to be part of the Abbott Loop family since its founding in 1959, one consistent theme that has emerged time and time again is the joy of lifelong relationships that were forged and rooted in a shared godly heritage. While the formal ALCC apostolic network has not been active for many years, the strong relationships persist and have been a source of joy for many. 

In August 2022, Joy Church Bend, an ALCC church plant out of Springfield Christian Center in Oregon, invited Pastor Rick Benjamin to speak during Sunday services and share about what God can do in a local church. The Joy Church family was blessed to learn more about their heritage and hear stories about Abbott Loop and its impact on so many.

Important note: We are not gathering to reorganize the ALCC family of churches. We are simply inviting everyone who was ever connected to join us for a relational event. So feel free to reach out to all church and family members who have been associated with ALCC over the years and invite them to come.
