Our mission

Making Disciples Who Are:

Our mission

Rooted In The Word

At Agape, we are rooted in God’s Word. The Bible is our final authority for faith, life, and doctrine.

Being rooted means we don’t shift with culture. We stand firm on truth.

Our mission

Empowered By The Spirit

We believe in the active work of the Holy Spirit today, guiding us, strengthening us, and shaping us to become more like Christ.

Living Spirit-empowered means we depend on God’s power, not our own, as we walk out our faith.

Our mission

& Equipped For Ministry

Every believer is called and gifted by God. We help people grow, discover their purpose, and use their gifts to serve others.

Being equipped means we don’t just attend church. We live on mission, making disciples wherever God has placed us.

Agape Church

Our History

Agape Church began in 1986 with a small group of families gathering in a living room with a shared desire to know God more deeply. By God’s grace, that simple beginning has grown into a church family that encourages hundreds in faith, worship, and service.

Today, Agape Church is known for a life-giving, Christ-centered culture marked by:

Enthusiastic, Spirit-filled worship
Biblically sound, practical teaching
A deep emphasis on personal engagement with the Holy Spirit
A diverse, welcoming church family
Genuine participation in the Gospel through service, generosity, and prayer

Go public with your faith, lend a hand on a team, build friendships that last, or bring us your prayer needs. One faithful move today can shape everything that follows.

Core Beliefs

We hold to beliefs that reflect the heart of biblical Christianity: firmly grounded in God’s Word, open to the Holy Spirit’s work, and centered on helping you know Jesus and follow Him daily.

We believe THE HOLY BIBLE is inspired by GOD, absolute in truth, and supreme in authority.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 CSB
We believe HOLY GOD exists. He is the source and sustainer of existence. He reveals Himself (all-powerful, all-knowing, and everywhere-present) in three Persons: THE FATHER, THE SON, and THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Matthew 3:16-17 CSB
We believe JESUS OF NAZARETH is GOD THE SON who descended to live a human life and lay down His life as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind. He died on a cross. He was buried for three days. He rose on the third day. He ascended to heaven. He is returning one day for those who trust in Him.
1 Corinthians 15:3-6 CSB
We believe THE HOLY SPIRIT is GOD within us. After Jesus’ ascension, the Holy Spirit descended to lead and empower every believer to live a holy life that honors God and exemplifies Jesus.
John 14:16-17
We believe HUMAN BEINGS are created in the image of GOD. But because of our faithless disobedience, we are born sinners separated from the life and fellowship of God. In this condition we are lost, undone, without hope, destined for God’s just wrath and eternal destruction.
Ephesians 2:1-3 CSB
We believe SALVATION from sin and death is found in JESUS alone. It is a love gift from GOD. It cannot be earned through our good works or acts of righteousness. It is imparted to a believer who turns away from their sin and chooses to trust wholeheartedly in how Jesus has provided for them. By God’s grace, they are born again to new life by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT.
Ephesians 2:4-10 CSB
We believe HEAVEN and HELL are actual locations as described in the BIBLE. Believers who have embraced salvation through Jesus Christ are welcomed into the bliss of Heaven while nonbelievers who have rejected salvation through Jesus Christ are secluded in the eternal punishment of Hell.
Revelation 21:3-8 CSB
We believe the two ORDINANCES Jesus decreed for the Church are WATER BAPTISM and COMMUNION.
Water Baptism is a milestone in every believer’s life publicly declaring their commitment to Jesus.
Communion is a regular touchstone for the church to practice publicly or privately in remembrance of Jesus’ great sacrifice.
Matthew 28:19 CSB
Luke 22:19-20 CSB
We believe the HOLY SPIRIT empowers willing believers today to operate in the same supernatural giftings as demonstrated in the life of JESUS, the apostles, and the early church.
1 Corinthians 12:7-11 CSB
We believe MARRIAGE is a picture of Christ’s relationship with the church. It is defined from the beginning as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman. God designed SEXUAL INTIMACY to be exercised within the boundaries of the marriage relationship and He does not endorse or condone it in any other context.
Ephesians 5:31-33
