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 not a church. It is a fellowship of believers coming together to declare 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!
Our Mission
The mission of Agape Christian Center is to love God, to love others, and to magnify the name of Jesus Christ.

The vision of our church is to glorify our God and Savior, Jesus Christ, to make true disciples throughout all the nations by means of missionary activity and support, to minister the ordinances, to edify believers, to leave no one hungry physically or spiritually, and to do all that is sovereignly possible and biblically permissible to magnify the name of Jesus.
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.
