Our prayer is that you would be blessed and strengthened by the power of Jesus Christ and that you will live a life of abundance in fellowship, joy and liberty. Agape Christian Center New Jersey is here for you. It is more than a church. It is a fellowship of believers united in declaring the glory of the Lord and celebrate Jesus as King. We study the Word, practice what we learn and, in the process, grow together. May God richly bless you!
Agape Christian Center is a community of closely knitted born-again
children of God worshipping and celebrating the King of kings and radiating His
love and concern for all humankind.
As a body of believers whose origin began with the giving of the Holy Spirit on
the day of Pentecost, we cherish the gift and presence of the Holy Spirit in
our individual lives and ministries.
We believe we are called of God to serve Him through fellowmen and so we minister to Men, Women, Youth, Children and also have outreaches for those who are yet rot come into faith, and those who are new in the Way. In Matthew 25:40 Jesus said, “…Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me”. In addition to nurturing believers and helping them achieve their heavenly goals, our ministerial focus is also providing basic necessities of life to the needy amongst us. These include; shelter for strangers, help for people who are experiencing hard times and have no means of supporting themselves; feeding the hungered in the community and clothing for the naked.
We offer worshipers a loving environment in which to connect with others
on a community level.
With an array of youth programs, community events and services we seek to
fulfill the mandate of Jesus Christ to go into all the world.
Our services are contemporary in style and dedicated to teachings derived from
the Word of God, the Bible. We promote an environment that is rich in
acceptance and conducive to gaining a deeper intimacy with Jesus
Christ. You are always welcome with us. Come and visit us this Sunday!

Statement of Faith
THE CHURCH
Agape Christian Center acknowledges the Lord's universal church worldwide characterized by sound doctrine, Pentecostal worship, the five-fold ministry, loving relationships, Holy Spirit-inspired evangelism, anointed proclamation and practical expression of Christian faith.
THE SCRIPTURES
Agape Christian center accepts the full authority and plenary and verbal inspiration of the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21). We hold it to be infallible and without error as originally given by God (Psalm 19:7-11). All the beliefs and practices of the church are to have their basis in Scripture that is held to be the sole and sufficient rule in matters of faith and doctrine (Isaiah 8:20).
BAPTISM
We believe that water baptism by immersion soon after accepting Christ as personal Savior, is a testimony of death to sin and resurrection to a new life.
HOLY COMMUNION
Agape Christian Center acknowledges that the Lord's Supper is a memorial service setting forth in sacred and symbolic manner the death of the Lord Jesus Christ; all true believers and only believers should share in it.
SALVATION
We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ by faith are born of the Holy Spirit and thus become children of God.
HOLY TRINITY
We believe that there is only one true God, eternally existent in the Holy Trinity, The three-in-one God, thus God the father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit.
SPIRITUAL GIFTS
We believe in the practical manifestations of all gifts of the Holy Spirit including the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
FUTURE EVENTS
We believe that the end of the world is coming, that in the last day Christ will descend from heaven, and raise the dead from the grave and that a separation will take place. The unbelievers will be given to everlasting punishment and the righteous to endless joy. This judgment will fix forever the final state of men in heaven and hell on the principles of God's righteousness.
