AFFILIATION

Abiding Love International Fellowship is chartered under the American Evangelical Christian Churches (AECC). AECC is a denomination of Evangelical Christian ministers. It was originally organized in 1944 in Chicago, Illinois.

1. The Bible as the written and infallible word  of God.
2. The Virgin Birth.
3. The Deity of Jesus the Christ.
4. Salvation through the Atoning Blood of Jesus the Christ.
5. The guidance of the Holy Spirit in the life of Christians.
