While living in North Carolina and being a part of Calvary Chapel Lake Norman, the Lord placed two words on Stephen’s heart, and those two words were Palm Springs. It had been on Stephen’s heart to step out in faith and attempt a church plant and of which they did once before in Davidson North Carolina. And even before those times, the Lord gave to Stephen a name for a church fellowship and that name was and is New Abundant Life Church.
We have been a part of several different dear churches in our time as believers and our strong desire is to see both the teaching/preaching of the Word of God & the powerful and needed move of the Holy Spirit active and present all the while founded and framed in love.
Stephen and Kari Ann along with their precious dog grace moved to Palm Desert in June of 2021, and then into Palm Springs in April of 2026. Please pray for us and for what our God desires to do with us - in His hands.
If you or someone you may know, may want to be a part of honoring God and planting a church in Palm Springs with us, please reach out to Stephen, even if it’s just good godly advice.
May God richly bless you,
Stephen & Kari Ann Kostlan
