Did the year 2008 hold a special significance for Savannah? For Agape Church of Jesus Christ, it marked a new beginning. This wasn’t the Agape Church on Love Street. This was the birth of Agape Empowerment Ministries, a beacon of inclusivity on Louisville Road. Pastor Candace E. Hardnett and Evangelist Erika Majors founded this vibrant community. They envisioned a space where all were welcome, regardless of background or identity. Agape Empowerment Ministries became known for its affirming stance, particularly welcoming to same-gender loving individuals. It offered Savannah a unique spiritual home, a place where those who felt marginalized by traditional churches could find solace and belonging. The church quickly became a testament to the power of acceptance and love. It offered Sunday School, Sunday Worship, and Wednesday Bible Study. The atmosphere was informal and the worship a blend of traditional and contemporary. Agape Empowerment Ministries became a hub for spiritual growth, empowering its members to use their gifts and lead others to Christ. The church’s dedication to community needs resonated deeply within Savannah. This spirit of service and love truly embodied the meaning of “Agape.”
