活石園基督教生命堂（原名：西橘園基督教生命堂）是新澤西州的第一家基督教生命堂。由於一些居住在新澤西的華人基督徒家庭的要求，在西橘園建立生命堂的工作於1973年開始實施。在此期間，楊摩西牧師發生車禍並受傷。從這次事件中，他開始質疑說建立西橘園基督教生命堂是否合乎上帝的旨意。他跪下禱告並祈求上帝明確指示。主使用詩篇66:12：「 你使人坐車軋我們的頭；我們經過水火，你卻使我們到豐富之地。」 這一節經文清楚向楊牧師表明並啟示祂的旨意。憑著極大信心，楊牧師於1974年初建立西橘園基督教生命堂。
教會於2006年6月3日, 得到上帝奇異恩典, 搬到利文斯頓(Livingston)而改名為活石園基督教生命堂。感謝上帝為祂的事工提供地方!
活石園基督教生命堂是美國國際神學福音佈道會生命堂之一。目前，國際神學福音佈道會在國內外擁有超過五十間 生命堂。教會擁有多元化的會眾組合。我們歡迎各界人士參與。
The Christian Evangelical Church in Livingston (CECL), formerly the Christian Evangelical Church in West Orange, is the first of the CEC churches in New Jersey. In 1973, at the requests of several Chinese Christian families living in New Jersey, preparations were set in motion for the establishment of the CEC in West Orange. However, around that time, Rev. Moses Yang got hurt in a car accident, which led him to question if it was God's will for him to establish the church. He knelt before the Lord in prayer and obtained clear direction from the Lord in Psalm 66:12 "Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water, but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place." This scriptural passage provided clear revelation and confirmation of God's will to Rev. Yang. With great faith, he established the church in early 1974. The church moved to its current location on June 3, 2006 when God wondrously provided the Livingston property for His work.
CECL is part of Evangelical Mission and Seminary International USA (EMSI), which is comprised of more than fifty (50) churches globally. The church has a diverse congregation and welcome people from all walks of life.

We are a church dedicated to teaching the sound word of God, preaching the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and defending our faith. We do so by:
Our worship. Our worship is centered on God and His mighty works. We proclaim the Word of God in relevant and practical ways that people can identify with. We communicate God's word in a clear and understandable manner.
Our Sunday School. We teach children the treasures of the Word of God. We pray that they will remember the promises of God when they become adults.
Our fellowship. After the worship service, we have lunch fellowship together. This is a reminder that we are one in Christ and have to care for one another and be united in love.
Our prayer meeting. We pray for our church mission, ministry, and the needs of our church and of individuals.
Our outdoor activities. In summer, we go outdoors to build our relationships. We go hiking, picnicking, and canoeing.
Our Vacation Bible School. We have a successful Vacation Bible School every year. The kids learn to respect authority (parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc.), to serve others, to be responsible, to think of others, and, more importantly, to learn of God's love and God's truth.
Pastoral ministry. The pastor is present for his congregants. We are together in times of rejoicing and victory and in times of pain, suffering, and sorrow.
I invite you to join our fellowship in the Lord Jesus Christ, to experience God's presence, victory, and love in our daily lives.
Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
若不是耶和華看守城池，看守的人就枉然警醒.
- Psalm 詩篇 127:1
