“Each member will know what he/she believes.” That’s a powerful statement isn’t it? It encapsulates the core mission of Agape Christian Fellowship right here in Brooklyn.
Agape Christian Fellowship isn’t just a church. It’s a community dedicated to faith and fellowship. Founded on July 14, 1993, this not-for-profit corporation has been a fixture in Brooklyn. The registered business location is at 528 Ninth Street.
Agape Christian Fellowship’s mission is multifaceted. It equips members to interpret the Word of God correctly. It encourages worship in spirit and truth. It promotes godly living and coping with life’s challenges. It focuses on evangelizing and impacting the community. It inspires hope in a changing world.
The vision of Agape Christian Fellowship is equally compelling. It wants each member to understand their beliefs and articulate them effectively. It aims for members to know God’s will for their lives. The church seeks to foster transformed lives led by the Spirit. They try to establish unity and caring among members. They encourage everyone to discover and use their gifts to serve and glorify God. The church wants to increase membership and attendance, attract young families, and build strong youth and young adult ministries. It seeks to be a viable presence in the community through outreach, connecting with other ministries.
The church holds several core beliefs. Agape Christian Fellowship believes in the Bible as the inerrant, inspired Word of God. They believe in the Trinity. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They uphold the lordship of Jesus Christ and the importance of a Spirit-controlled life. They believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ. They acknowledge that mankind is sinful and needs salvation through Jesus Christ. They recognize the Church as the universal body of Christ. They emphasize discipleship, proclaiming, and teaching Scripture. They believe in eternal judgment and rewards. And they practice water baptism by immersion.
Speaking of baptism, Agape Christian Fellowship views it as a public declaration. It represents one’s identification with Christ. They welcome individuals who confess Jesus as the Son of God and receive Him as their Savior. Child dedications are also significant here. While they believe baptism requires a prior belief in Jesus Christ, they dedicate children. During these dedications, the pastor and the church body pray for the child’s protection, health, spiritual growth, and future blessings.
Agape Christian Fellowship stands as a testament to faith. It is an outreach, community, and spiritual growth. Its enduring presence here in Brooklyn speaks volumes about its commitment to its mission and vision. As we stand here, consider the impact this fellowship has had on countless lives. The people found solace, guidance, and a sense of belonging within its walls.
