A wife, mother, Bible Teacher, Author, and QAC native, Elder Kia Reed has been ministering to Women and Youth for over 20 years. Her evangelistic style of ministry has been experienced by churches and conferences along the east coast of the United States.  In January 2008, Lady Reed released her first book entitled, Tiny Steps to Making Leaps and Bounds in the Spirit' . Soon after she authored The Voice of The Father: Stability for Turbulent Times. Faith and Mental Fitness: Let’s Talk about IT is a must read!  Her newest release, 31 Days of Renewal was released November 2016.

Her passion is to see people set free from the bondages that keep us from experiencing complete freedom in Jesus Christ!  

 In March 2003, Elder Anthony set out to establish a community outreach ministry that he and his wife would share together to reach out and strengthen their community. The first event was a Mother-Daughter Luncheon held in May of that year with Co-Pastor Lynn and Evangelist Joy Mifflin as the guest preachers. In August of that year, Anthony was led to turn his face to the wall as he felt the pastoral call on his life growing stronger. A call that he had rejected when first confirmed by his then pastor, Elder Kim Freeman-Walker. On November 16, 2003, in obedience to the Lord Abundant Life Restoration Ministries became a House of Worship. Our first home was in the Historic Queen Anne's County Arts Council building at  206 S. Commerce St in Centreville, MD. It was great relationship but as the needs of the church changed a more permanent site was needed. We relocated to 132 Comet Drive located above Chesapeake Auto in Centreville. The Coopers were great landlords, but feeling that the church needed a more accessible meeting place; Pastor Reed began searching for a place to call our own. By faith in August 2011, we ended the lease and moved our services to Faith Tabernacle Holy Church located at 225 Little Kidwell. God did some wonderful things as the two churches worked together and hosted a block party, VBS, and other outreaches. October 2011 was the turning point and our current property at 1003 Hayden Rd, Centreville was purchased. The Pastor and Members worked untiringly to make the building ready before our Anniversary that year. We continue to make improvements and have established ourselves as a ministry that loves its members and our community! 

The small space adjacent to the Main sanctuary is named the Sherese Daniels McNeal Fellowship Hall. Renovations having been made possible by a Memorial Donation, the space is home to KIDZ Life and doubles as a place of fellowship to  our guests. 

After the pandemic of 2020, the main sanctuary underwent an extensive renovation and is the face of church plant. We host an Annual Back Pack Giveaway,  Annual Thanksgiving Meal to Seniors, and Annual Christmas Outreach to local housing communities. We support local organizations and seek ways to give back throughout the year!
