Our Story

Pastor Tim & Gale Parton were both born into families with a deep  rooted musical heritage. Sevierville, Parton Music, well you get the  picture. Tim & Gale`s love for gospel music would bring them  together and their love for God and each other would unite them in  marriage.

Blessed with God given talents to play instruments, sing, and write  songs, God has used them all over the United States and Canada to spread  the gospel message. Tim has also been the host of many TV Shows and  Radio Programs. Now pastoring a church was something Tim thought that  God would one day call him into, but it always seemed to be out in the  future. In early 2014 while on one of their ministry road trips, Tim  & Gale began sharing their hearts with each other concerning their  ministry and what God was placing in their hearts. Feeling a strong  desire to be in God`s will, they both knew it was time to come off the  road and to plant a new church. With no ready building, congregation,  money or anything else they thought would be needed to begin a church,  they simply placed their faith in God and His call and trusted Him to  guide them one step at a time. “Abundant Life Worship Center” was the  name God placed on their heart to call the new church.

Abundant: God is more than enough

Life: God`s Breath

Worship: God Inhabits our Praise

Center: God First

Next God gave the church motto:

Livin It

Believin It

Receivin It

God`s Abundant Life

God soon supplied the building: The Sevierville Civic Center and on  August 3, 2014, Abundant Life Worship Center held their first Worship  Service with 42 people in attendance. Our God is faithful. We are  excited about the vision God has given us and the direction that God is  leading the church in. We invite you to come visit, share in a great  experience and be Blessed.
