Who We Are
Agape Worship Center is place where everyone is accepted and loved for who they are. Friendly members will treat everyone that come with the love, acceptance, and forgiveness that Jesus showed us. It does not matter where you are, your age or background, Agape welcomes you as family. Our atmosphere is one of excitement that lends to you witnessing the freedom and safety God desires you to have.
We are multicultural and multi-generational and provide a diverse worship experience with various types of ministries that has something unique and special for all ages. Agape has Lifegroups for each individual to quickly connect and included in fellowship time.
We have a Children’s Department that is committed to each child’s personal and spiritual development. Learn more about our ministries and services. The Word that is preached will liberate the mind and spirit. The Word and Bible training sessions that are shared will challenge each person to fulfill their God Given purposed with veal. Join us on this Sunday or you are invited to any of our services. God bless you and we hope to see you soon.

Agape Values and Beliefs
What Are Core Values?
Core values are the foundations that have shaping power to make us who we are.
Those values represent our basic belief and our convictions. This is who we are from the foundation to the roof. This is what we stand for.
Values determine how ministry is distinctive from others.
Core values are biblical, engender passion, are easily shared, constant, flow with overall vision, and are implementable.
Agape Core Values
We value the application of scripture teaching for life change.
We value groups we believe that loving relationships should permeate every aspect of church life.
We value showing acceptance in our compassion, respect, and acceptance of all.
We believe all people matter to God.
We value worship. We commit ourselves to gather regularly in the integrity of worship that inspires trust and confidence, bearing the fruit of the Spirit.
