Friends of Agape
While Agape Christian Counseling Services is not part of any particular church or other organization, we do partner with many local ministries, as a part of our mission to reach as many as possible with healing and wholeness. Here is a list of some of the local organizations we have worked with.

Grace Church
On May 21, 1978, Grace Church was launched in a rented room with 30 people. Five months later, ten times as many were coming and the church found more room in a leased storefront. In 1980, Grace bought a modest building and nine acres of land, preparing the way for the construction of their present building and the purchase of adjoining land. Since then Grace Church has grown in size, facilities and spirit. Thousands of lives and eternities have been changed as the focus remains on what brought the church together in the first place — loving God and serving people.

Whether you are new to church or were born in a pew, ROC will redefine your…
