The All-New Children's Ministry was successfully launched on June 2, 2019. With more ministry workers coming forward to serve, we divided the children to three age groups. Our Childcare will take care of children ages birth to 6, our Kid's Church is for ages 7 to 12 and our Youth Church is for ages 13-17. Trustworthy, competent and child-friendly ministry workers will gladly look after your children while you enjoy your uninterrupted time worshipping the Lord. For check-in time and more information, please visit Agape Church Children's Ministry. 

It is God's command to honor our mothers. At Agape, we do not just honor them, we love them. A well attended Mother's Day Sunday brought smiles and laughters to everyone in attendance. The men serenaded them with the song "Isn't She Lovely?", by Stevie Wonder before they were given flowers and cupcakes. Everyone enjoyed free lunch courtesy of the church. 

It was another fun-filled celebration of the Lord's resurrection at Hilltop Community Park. There was food for everybody and games for all ages. Church members and guests shared a wonderful time together commemorating. Jesus lives! 

Led by these ladies with heart of service, we had another successful "Lunch Sale". Proceeds from this fund raising continue to build up our benevolent funds. Like what Paul said to the christians of Philippi, "Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others" (Philippians 4:2). We wish to thank all those who, in way or the other, had supported this event. 

Having them all in reverse. Putting work before God took her to a route that is not just difficult, but also unrewardingly exhausting. Sydney was raised in a Jehovah's Witness background, and later converted to Catholicism because of her marriage to her husband Jinno. He caught her husband cheating, they lost their home and they were separated when she discovered that she was pregnant with their second child. Her sister accused her husband of something that caused adversities and infighting. Until she was led by the Holy Spirit to seek counsel from Pastor Anthony that eventually led to her discovery of the God side of the story. Hear more of her story.

Joe Stewart was born in San Diego. He was very curious to find out who God is. First accepted Jesus in 1975 as his Savior and was baptized. He stopped coming to church because of hypocrites in the church, which he considers himself to be one. Left home when he was 17. He dropped out of high school, and in the winter of '77, they drove from Tacoma to Pennsylvania. Due to bad weather, highways were closed, but they're stubborn enough to continue by driving through an old mountain highway where they got stuck in snow in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming. They shut off the engine of their car, covered themselves with blankets, and used lighters for heat. Through the window from the backseat, he saw a silhouette of a house, so he thought of going out and try to get help. But somebody told him in his mind not to do it and instead just stay in the car. In the morning, the tow truck came, he looked at the house, and it didn't have any walls. Because of the freezing weather, it could be that if he got out of the car, he may have not been able to survive. He believed that right there, the Lord saved him. Hear more of his story.

Pastor Justin Siron sponsored the creation of benevolent fund to help church members who are in need of dire assistance. After the Board of Elders approved the proposal,  a group of Agape Ladies led by Debbie Jesuitas came up with the idea of raising benevolent funds through lunch sale. The funds will be managed by the Membership Board. The church family wishes to say thank you so much to all the kind hearted donors, to to all those who patronized the lunch sale and to all those who are behind the success of this fund raising. 

A well attended 2-hour workshop was facilitated by Pastor Anthony. The goal of the meeting is to bring every stakeholder on the same page and to put in place the system for the "One Church, One Message". This campaign is intended to reinforce the weekly message and intensity the multiplication of our Life Groups that will potentially produce disciples that makes disciples. 

Agape Church of San Diego, in partnership with The River of Faith Church, and in cooperation with Fortified Marriages Ministries, hosted their first ever couples retreat. Chris & Carmen Garner did a fantastic job. Workshops covered the subject concerning Marriage with Differences, Constructive Conflict and Working Together to meet the Challenges of life. Great reviews from the participants inspired us to do it again. Watch out for the next Growing Together couples' retreat.💑

Anthony Camara of Thrivent Financial did a fantastic job facilitating the "More Than Money Matters" Workshop. This  nicely wrapped up Pastor Anthony's series on responsible stewardship entitled, "The 7 Laws of Financial Freedom". At Agape, we don't just live spiritually healthy, we also live financially happy. 👍😇

Michell Cabana shared her life story and the healing miracles of the Lord upon her mother, Olivia, who had been rushed to the hospital due to sudden and severe pain. After all the tests performed on her, the doctors were shocked and surprised how the story unfold in the days that followed. Watch her full story here. 

Agape gives back to the community. In the whole month of December, we collected donations particularly blankets, jackets and sweaters that could help our homeless brethren in downtown San Diego to stay warm this winter season. On December 23, the church family packed lunch bags that we distributed along with the donated materials. Volunteers offered prayers and encouragements. Sharing the love of God the Agape way. ❤️
