The Church of Perpetual Life is a non-denominational religious organization based in Pompano Beach, Florida that focuses on extending human life. Founded in 2013 by Bill Faloon of the Life Extension Foundation and Saul Kent and officiated by Neal VanDeree, the Church follows the teachings of Russian philosopher Nikolai F. Fedorov as their prophet. The Church operates on the belief that life is sacred and should be preserved indefinitely, advocating for the study and advancement of scientific research related to radical life extension and age reversal. Central to its philosophy is the idea of "transhumanism," which espouses the use of technology and science to enhance human physical and cognitive abilities, ultimately to overcome fundamental human limitations, including mortality. The Church of Perpetual Life conducts monthly hybrid services that often feature guest speakers from the scientific community discussing advancements in life extension and related topics. The Church has maintained a growing congregation, including many professionals from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
As a religious organization, the Church offers its members a sense of community and shared purpose, uniting individuals with a common interest in life extension. Its dedication to science and spirituality provides a unique perspective on the meaning and purpose of life while promoting the pursuit of super longevity.
