The Centro Cristiano Vida Abundante began in Chicago, Illinois, in 1986 as a mission outreach by Andres Gallardo, who had earlier pastored a Hispanic church in Moline, Illinois.
For a time, the congregation rented space in a Reformed Church building. In 1994, with 400 attendees, it renovated a former warehouse donated to the congregation and located in the Chicago suburb of Cicero.
Over time, the congregation has become known as Vida Abundante Cicero.
In 2024, the congregation's website makes no mention of Mennonite connections and does not reference the Confession of Faith In a Mennonite Perspective, though its site lists numerous other theological statements.
