Our Beliefs

The Bible to be the only God breathed, infalliable and living Word of God.
That there is one God, eternally coexistient in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
In the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His victorious and atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal physical return in power and glory.
In the reality of Satan and his authority in this world and that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, a person must be born again.
In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit His fruits and Gifts whose by indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Christ like and victorious life.
In the resurrection and eternal life of the believer, as well as the eternal punishment of the unbeliever.
We believe that through teaching impartation and activation we equip believers to advance the Kingdom of God.

Pastor Andrew Surace was born and raised in Queens, New York, and felt called to ministry at age 11. After three years of pre-med studies, he attended Valley Forge Christian College, graduating in June 1980 with a Bachelor’s in Ministry.

He immediately founded Abundant Life Assembly of God in Marmora, NJ, serving as pastor for six years. In 1988, he planted Covenant Life, which later became Christ Fellowship on January 11, 2011. He and his wife, Kathleen, have six children and eleven grandchildren.

Pastor Surace is passionate about planting and strengthening churches and mentoring young pastors. He has authored two devotionals—Power Points from the Word and Stepping Stones Along the Path of Life—and is also a dedicated worship leader, with Christ Fellowship’s first worship CD, Breaking Through the Darkness, blessing many.

He is ordained under Rick Joyner and serves as a National Elder with Morningstar Ministries in Fort Mill, South Carolina. He holds a Doctorate in Practical Ministry from Wagner Leadership Institute in Colorado Springs.
