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.
