Abounding Grace Ministries

Abounding Grace Ministries was founded by Pastor Rick Del Rio in 1982. The ministry formed as a church designed to specifically meet the needs of the most hardened drug addicts, criminals, and homeless living on the lower east side. Central to our mission is the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the spiritual transformation offered through faith in Jesus Christ and obedience to the Bible. Our youth programs aim to empower young people to create and pursue hopeful alternatives to mediocrity, poverty, and delinquency; and to enable youth to develop and realize ambitions and dreams.
