Vincent M. Leslie
Pastor
Vincent M. Leslie is a native of Huntsville, Alabama, and a man divinely commissioned to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ with passion, clarity, and purpose. He gave his life to Christ at the age of 12 and was filled with the Holy Ghost, setting the foundation for a lifelong journey of ministry. A gifted saxophonist, Pastor Leslie ministered through music in numerous settings, sharing stages with national gospel artists and leaving a lasting impact through his anointed sound. In 1999, he accepted the call to ministry, was licensed at Greater Hope Tabernacle Church, and began serving as an adjutant and armor bearer — a season that shaped his understanding of servanthood and taught him that ministry is ultimately about meeting the needs of the people. By 2001, he was ordained as an Elder, gaining vital experience in church leadership and operations.
In 2003, Pastor Leslie was elevated to the office of Pastor and faithfully led Greater Hope Tabernacle Church in Lawrenceville, GA. In 2012, he launched Abundant Life Ministries, later known as Abundant Life Worship Center, built on the vision of John 10:10: “Real people, with real issues, looking for real answers.” Under his leadership, the ministry became a powerful force in the Metro Atlanta area. In June 2025, once again following the leading of the Holy Ghost, Pastor Leslie and his wife planted Discipleship Church in Upstate South Carolina — a church focused on reaching the lost and equipping believers at every level to grow in the principles of Christ. He carries a Rhema word that brings healing, deliverance, and restoration, empowering people to be established in the Kingdom by the power of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Leslie serves alongside his wife, Pastor Ardys Leslie, and together they are the proud parents of four beautiful daughters and three cherished grandchildren.
Ardys Leslie
Executive Pastor
Ardys Leslie serves faithfully alongside her husband, Bishop Vincent M. Leslie, as co-laborer and Executive Pastor of Discipleship Church in Greenville, South Carolina. With a deep passion for God’s people and a heart especially tuned to the needs of the unchurched and under-discipled, Pastor Ardys is committed to seeing lives transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Her ministry flows with grace, authenticity, and anointing, as she boldly equips believers to break free from tradition and step into the fullness of their divine identity. Known for her wisdom, prophetic insight, and nurturing spirit, she ministers healing and restoration to those who have been wounded by life, religion, or past trauma — calling them to rise and walk in wholeness.
Raised in the Jehovah’s Witness tradition, Pastor Ardys experienced radical transformation over 30 years ago when she encountered the true Gospel of grace and surrendered her life to Jesus Christ. Since then, she has become a powerful voice for Kingdom truth, inspiring both women and men to embrace freedom, purpose, and authentic relationship with God. With over three decades in the beauty industry as a seasoned cosmetologist, salon owner, and educator, Pastor Ardys also serves as a sought-after relationship and marriage coach, helping women rediscover their worth and walk in their God-ordained identity. She is especially passionate about mentoring wives and singles in Kingdom relationships, encouraging them to build lives of integrity, purpose, and power. Above all, she is a devoted wife, proud mother of two accomplished daughters, joyful grandmother of three, and a humble vessel of God’s love and glory.

Their journey—marked by seasons of both breaking and building—has fueled their mission: to heal hearts, restore hope, and equip husbands and wives to reflect Heaven in their home.

Marriages with Purpose and Power
The Leslies believe that marriage isn’t just about emotional connection—it’s about spiritual direction. They are committed to discipling couples into unity, purpose, and Kingdom impact.
Whether teaching from the pulpit, ministering one-on-one, or leading group sessions, Pastors Vincent & Ardys carry a heart to see every marriage not just survive—but thrive as a living testimony of God’s power.
“We help couples heal, grow, and reflect the love of Heaven—one Christ-centered marriage at a time.”
“Turning roommates into soulmates through God’s blueprint for marriage.”
“On mission to see marriages healed, homes restored, and Heaven reflected in every covenant.”
“Helping husbands and wives thrive spiritually, emotionally, and relationally—God’s way.”
“Equipping couples to lock arms, chase purpose, and put 10,000 to flight—together.”
Our Story
God didn’t just save our marriage—He gave it purpose.
When we said “I do,” we had no idea the battles we would face.
Like many couples, we entered marriage with baggage, unhealed wounds, unrealistic expectations, and generational cycles we hadn’t yet broken.
There were moments of silence, struggle, and spiritual warfare—times we weren’t sure if we’d make it.
But what the enemy meant for destruction, God used for our development.
“It wasn’t just counseling—it was deliverance. It wasn’t just communication—it was consecration.”
— Pastor Vincent & Lady Ardys Leslie
And That's When The Mission Was Birthed
Our Mission in One Sentence
We help couples heal, grow, and reflect the love of heaven—one delivered, Christ-centered marriage at a time.
Bible and Bae: A Ministry With a Mandate
Bible and Bae: Marriage God’s Way was birthed from our story—not to show off a perfect marriage, but to reveal the power of a surrendered one.
This isn’t just a ministry—it’s a mandate.
We exist to raise up couples who don’t just wear rings, but carry kingdom purpose.
Couples who don’t just stay together, but grow stronger together—in Christ.
“We’re not perfect—but we’re proof. Proof that when Jesus is the foundation, your marriage can survive the storm and come out stronger on the other side.”
From Our Hearts to Yours:
We believe your marriage has a mantle.
Your union is prophetic.
And your love story is not over—it’s being rewritten by the One who authored it.
Let’s grow together. Let’s heal together. Let’s war for covenant—together.
Authentically yours,
Ardys P Leslie
