Get involved
Ministry is where faith becomes participation. Through Bible study, prayer, family life, service, discipleship and outreach, we seek to grow together and share the love of Christ.
Church life
We believe church is a family in which people worship together, learn together, care for one another and use their gifts in service.
These ministry areas provide opportunities to deepen your faith, build relationships, serve others and take an active part in the life of Agape.
Our ministries
Our ministries help us grow in Christ, strengthen our church family and serve the people around us.
Study. Discuss. Grow.
Sabbath School is where we gather around the Bible, ask questions, share perspectives and grow together in our understanding of God’s Word.
Classes provide an opportunity for people of different ages to study Scripture together and deepen their relationship with Jesus.
Helping children know Jesus
Children are an important part of the Agape church family, and we want them to experience church as a place of joy, learning, belonging and spiritual growth.
Children’s Ministry supports age-appropriate Bible learning, worship, fellowship and activities that help children understand God’s love and build a personal relationship with Jesus.
Growing the next generation
Young people are an important part of the Agape church family today, not simply the church of tomorrow.
Youth Ministry seeks to help young people know Jesus personally, build meaningful Christian friendships, discover their gifts and take an active role in worship, service and church life.
Faith expressed through service
We believe the love of Christ should be visible in the way we care for people around us.
Community Services seeks practical opportunities to support, encourage and serve people in Vanderbijlpark and the surrounding community.
Seeking God together
Prayer is central to the spiritual life of our church. We gather to pray for one another, our families, our community and the work of God.
Whether you have a prayer request or simply want to pray with others, you are welcome to join us.
Learning for life and service
We value Christian education as an important part of helping children, young people and adults grow intellectually, spiritually and practically.
At Agape, we encourage learning that is rooted in Christian values, strengthens faith in Jesus and prepares people to use their knowledge and abilities in service to others.
Strengthening homes
Healthy families are an important part of healthy churches and communities.
Family Ministries seeks to encourage strong marriages, intentional parenting, loving relationships and Christ-centred homes where every member of the family can grow in faith.
Whole-person wellbeing
We believe that physical, mental, social and spiritual wellbeing are connected and that caring for our health is part of faithful Christian living.
Health Ministry encourages practical habits that support wellbeing and helps people understand biblical principles for living healthy, balanced and purposeful lives.
Sharing faith personally
Personal Ministries encourages every believer to take part in sharing the hope of Jesus with others.
Through Bible study, friendship, outreach and personal witness, we seek to help people discover Scripture and develop a meaningful relationship with Christ.
Faithful with what God provides
Stewardship is about recognising that our time, abilities, influence and resources are gifts entrusted to us by God.
We encourage biblical stewardship that helps believers use what God has given them wisely, generously and faithfully for His work and for the good of others.
Growing, supporting and serving
Women play an important role in the spiritual life, leadership and service of the church.
Women’s Ministries seeks to provide opportunities for fellowship, spiritual growth, mentorship, encouragement and service while supporting women in the different seasons of life.
Learn
Bible study and Christian education provide space to ask questions, learn and grow in God's Word.
Belong
Ministry creates opportunities to form meaningful friendships and support one another in Christian life.
Serve
Every person has something to contribute. Ministry gives us opportunities to use our gifts for God and for others.
