More than information
Faith becomes transformational when it becomes personal.
Abide Ministries is not simply another Bible study. We provide practical, Christ-centered experiences that help people hear God, follow His daily direction, and walk with Him in real life.
Through courses, retreats, books, podcasts, and community, people learn to move from knowing about God toward an active relationship with the living God.

Abiding in the Vine is a daily life of connection—remaining in Christ, receiving His direction, and allowing His life to bear fruit through us.
Why we exist
Inviting everyone into the life God designed for them.
Our purpose is centered on helping people hear God personally and live in alignment with His exceptional plan.
Mission
Invite people into abundant life.
Invite everyone to experience the grand, spectacular, abundant life that comes from hearing God’s voice and aligning with His will.

Our values
The convictions that shape everything we do.
These values guide our teaching, leadership, community, and daily decisions.
Led by God
We seek God’s direction in every aspect of life, yielding to His calling and daily instruction rather than relying only on our own understanding.
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.” — Psalm 32:8
The Word Is Truth
Scripture is our authoritative foundation for truth, correction, wisdom, and clarity. Every teaching is rooted in God’s Word.
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” — Psalm 119:105
Live an Abundant Grand Life
We believe God offers more than spiritual survival. Deep roots in Him produce peace, purpose, freedom, unity, hope, and fruitfulness.
“Whatever you do…do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” — Colossians 3:17
Find Joy in Everything
Joy is rooted in Christ, not favorable circumstances. We look for God’s goodness in challenges, ordinary moments, and unexpected places.
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18

The story of Abide
God transformed their lives—and called them to give it away.
After years of church involvement and Bible study, Rich and Linda Case began to recognize a gap between knowing biblical truth intellectually and personally experiencing the promises of Scripture.
As God brought people into their lives who taught them to hear His voice, follow His will, and abide in Christ, their lives began to change. Friends noticed the difference and asked them to share what they had learned.

2001 The ministry began through a retreat with friends in Austria focused on hearing God and living in His direction.
Today Abide serves people through retreats, courses, books, podcasts, leaders, and Christ-centered communities across the country.
Next Weekend retreats continued in Colorado as more people asked to experience the same practical abiding journey.
