The meaning of our name:
Agape (Love: The greatest commandment)
Agape is the Greek word for love that Jesus used when He said that the most important command in the Bible is to love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind and all our strength. (Matthew 22:37)
Agape refers to the soul’s delight in God that rises out of desire for God, produces complete commitment to God, and which is most joyfully expressed through loving those God loves.
Bible (The guide to loving God)
We can only love God if we know Him. And He can only be known through His own perfect self-revelation: the Bible. For that reason we are committed to expository preaching (preaching that explains the meaning of the Bible instead of a pastor’s own human wisdom). We do not use Bible verses to support our ideas; we study to discover God’s ideas from what He has written to us.
The goal of our Bible teaching is that information lead to insight leading to intimacy with God.
Church (The community of God-lovers)
We strive to love God, through the Lord Jesus Christ, as His body (growing to maturity and doing His work), His bride (loving Him in purity and exclusive devotion), His family (relating to Him as Father and to one another as precious siblings), His temple (His dwelling place on earth) and His worshippers.(a holy priesthood offering acceptable worship).
