Changes:

• Name:Abundant Life Christian Community Center (AL3C)
• Website URL:https://www.al3cva.org
• Summary:Pastor Mike Goodman leads a congregation deeply engaged with Portsmouth schools and community life, and services are easy to join remotely via Sunday livestreams on Facebook and YouTube with additional video sermons available. Founded in Norfolk in 2001 by Bishop Spencer H. Riddick, Jr., the church began as a deliverance ministry and, after moving to Portsmouth and adding "Community" to its name, still emphasizes Holy Spirit gifts and deliverance in a welcoming "No Judge Zone." The congregation opened at 82 Afton Parkway in 2019 and has expanded into the neighboring 80 Afton facility with the 82/80 Project and new Riddick Hall; it also serves as home to the Cradock Civic League and runs extensive outreach (over 3,400 food bags and nearly $24,000 in assistance in 2024), youth sponsorships, school support, and women’s shelter fundraising. For learners, AL3C Online offers self‑paced Bible courses and study questions, the website lists sermon features and Pastor Mike’s books for purchase, and the church accepts gifts through Cash App ($ALCC2018), Givelify, mail, or in person.
