Princeton Alliance Church

What Princeton Alliance Church does

Princeton Alliance Church (PAC) is a Christian nonprofit religious organization founded in 1983 in Plainsboro Township, New Jersey, and affiliated with the Christian & Missionary Alliance denomination. It operates from a single campus at 20 Schalks Crossing Road and runs two Sunday services at 9:30AM and 11:30AM, with real-time Spanish interpretation via the Wordly App and online livestreaming through YouTube. The church is led by Lead Pastor Alex Chang (since October 2023), following Senior Pastor (Emeritus) Dr. Boyd Hannold's transition after 17 years of service.

PAC delivers an unusually broad ministry portfolio spanning the full demographic and social spectrum. Developmental programs include PAC Kids (infants through 5th grade), PAC Youth (grades 6-12), PAC Young Adults, Discipleship Pathways (one-year cohort program, $30 registration), Alpha Course (11-week faith exploration), and Community Groups meeting in homes. Specialized inclusion and benevolence services include Buddies Ministry (one-on-one support for children with special needs), The Pantry (food assistance across 10 townships), Cars Ministry (vehicle donations), Refugee Resettlement (via Alliance for Refugees and Interfaith-RISE), ESL classes, and partnerships with hearts+homes and Street Church Ministries. Global missions extend to Latin America (Inca Link), the Dominican Republic (Mission 2535), Southeast Asia, Japan, and the Holy Lands, supported through a Global Ministry Fund.

The operating model is funded primarily by member tithes and offerings, channeled through a Local Ministry Fund ($2,887,508 in the 2026 budget) and Global Ministry Fund ($421,410). Donor-Advised Fund giving (Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable) and minor fee-based programs (Aftercare at $100/child) supplement income. The 2026 total operating budget is $3,308,918, supported by 36 employees. Technology infrastructure is operational rather than differentiated: Church Center and Planning Center for registrations, giving, and volunteer management; ProPresenter for worship graphics; and Wordly for live interpretation. PAC holds ECFA accreditation and a Candid Silver Seal, signaling financial accountability standards.
