Agape Church of Christ

You can find all of the latest sermons under the “About Us” section at the top.

The minutes from last night’s committee meetings for worship and community presence have been added.

Thanks to all who made yesterday such a wonderful day.  People are beginning to find out about the love and kindness that is a hallmark of this church.  Praise God for each of you.

The sermon page is up to date and new photos have been added to “Our Church Family”

Also check out the coming events in the window directly above us.

See you Wednesday night.

This Sunday we will begin our Sunday night discussions on the ministry focus areas for the next year.  April 6th we will discuss Community Presence and Children’s Ministry.  April 13th we will discuss Small Groups and Worship.

I will give a brief introduction to both ministry areas and then facilitate discussion.  I am hoping that this will be a great springboard for you to get excited about these four areas and then plan on signing up beginning the 13th.

We are going to focus primarily on discussion during these sessions.  This will give the eventual committees ideas and insight without making them feel like their responsibilities are already decided for them.

Make plans to be there Sunday night at 6 if you can.

This Wednesday evening we will be beginning a new class for adults on what it means to be a disciple.

We will be discussion what makes a follower of Jesus in this day and age and how we can, in turn, aid other people into becoming fuller Christ-followers.

Make plans to join us beginning April 2nd at 6:30.

Our mission and vision statements have been added to our “About Us” section.
