Gereja Pentakosta Jemaat Agape

Can a church have a motto? Gereja Pentakosta Jemaat Agape in Jakarta seems to. It proclaims itself as a “Community that Voices the Love of Christ”. Gereja Pentakosta Jemaat Agape, nestled within the Lippo Village community of Tangerang, embodies this motto in its vibrant and diverse ministries. Gereja Pentakosta Jemaat Agape identifies itself as a Charismatic Evangelical church. This means they embrace the spiritual gifts and dynamism of the charismatic movement. But they also maintain a firm foundation in the orthodox principles of the Bible. The church’s commitment extends to the four pillars of the church: Koinonia (fellowship), Marturia (witnessing), Diakonia (service), and Didaskalia (teaching). These principles weave together to create a holistic ministry. Gereja Pentakosta Jemaat Agape pulsates with life, offering services and activities throughout the week. Sunday mornings are a symphony of worship, with two main services at 7:00 am and 10:00 am. Agape Kids and Tunas, the church’s Sunday school and youth groups, also meet during these times. They provide age-appropriate classes to nurture faith and encourage the discovery of talents. For teenagers, there’s Awaken, a vibrant youth ministry designed for worship, spiritual growth, and service. Gereja Pentakosta Jemaat Agape doesn’t limit its activities to Sundays. Throughout the week, various groups meet for fellowship, study, and service. Kasih, short for Kelompok Agape Saling Mengasihi (Agape Groups Loving One Another), gathers on Thursdays or Fridays. These small groups, organized by neighborhood, offer a space for spiritual growth and practical application of faith within their communities. KOMPAG (Komunitas Pria Agape) and KOMIT Agape (Komunitas Wanita Agape), the men’s and women’s groups, meet on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. UMAS Agape (Usia Emas), a group specifically for senior members, meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays. Gereja Pentakosta Jemaat Agape offers a space for everyone. Led by Senior Pastor Pdt. Ir. Supeno Lembang, M.A., M.Th., the church seeks to transform lives through the power of the Word and the Holy Spirit, equipping its members to actively express the love of Christ both within and outside the church walls.
