Words of Life New Jersey opened its doors during the Fall of 2013, under the leadership of Alberto and Jessica Roca. The Rocas arrived in New Jersey with a wealth of experience from their years at Words of Life New York—where Alberto first served as one of its founding leaders and a member of the worship team. When the couple married, they joined forces as Pastors of the Young Adults network, and then as members of the Elders leadership team.

Through their outreach initiatives, services and weekly classes, what began as a small outreach group is expanding into a strong congregation of youth, adults and families who are seeking God’s love, in order to transform their city, nation and the world.
