Abiding Love International Fellowship (ALIFE) is an Evangelical, charismatic church established in February 2006 with a mandate to serve the Greater Trenton area of New Jersey. Our goal is to build a local assembly of believers that demonstrates the love of God towards all men. Our specific objectives are to:

(1) Bring unbelievers into experiencing the unconditional love of God;

(2)Educate new believers about their relationship to God and to one another; and

(3) Help maturing believers to advance to higher levels of spirituality and maturity through advanced teaching and training that will help them discover and use their spiritual gifts.

We endeavor to achieve these objectives through the following four Christ-centered and people-oriented programs:

Evangelism: Presenting Jesus to those who are yet to know Him.

Compassion: Meeting physical and spiritual needs.

Discipleship: Developing believers to become Christ-like.

Missions: Demonstrating the love of God for all “nations”.
