At Agape, we believe it is the way Christians love those around them that makes them different.  It is the model that Jesus Christ set for us to follow (1 John 4:11).  When people are continuously seeking LIFE-CHANGING FREEDOM IN CHRIST, they are more and more able to share that with others.

W h a t   d o e s   "A g a p e"   m e a n ?

Agape (agápē) is a Greek word (ἀγάπη) that the New Testament uses to describe a certain kind of love, a deep, unconditional love that was the reason Jesus Christ went to the cross for us.  This same word is used in John 3:16, in 1 Co 13:1-8 when speaking about the outworking and nature of love, and in 1 John 4:8 to describe God Himself.

W h a t   i s   C h u r c h ?

In the New Testament, the Greek word 'ekklēsia' (ἐκκλησία), which we translate as 'Church', is used for the first time when Jesus declares, "Upon this rock I will build my Church" (Matthew 16:18). He's not speaking about a rock or building.  The word ekklēsia literally means 'those who are called out'; Jesus is speaking about the people.  

Church is people doing life together, and moving together in a common direction with a common purpose, functioning together like different parts of one body (1 Co 12:13-15).  None of us are are able to make it alone. 

 'Agape' throughout the New Testament:

Romans 13:10
2 Corinthians 5:14
Galatians 5:6, 13-14, 22
Ephesians 1:4

Philippians 1:9

Colossians 3:21
Thessalonians 3:12

1 Timothy 6:11
