Lead Pastor Mike & Elizabeth Sooley

Our Mission & Vision
At the heart of everything we do is Agape—the highest form of love described in the Bible: selfless, sacrificial and unconditional. It’s the love God has for us and the love we are called to reflect to others. Every ministry at Agape Gathering Place Church is a living expression of that divine love, whether it’s through service, teaching, outreach, or healing. Our mission is to create a welcoming place where lives are transformed by the power of God’s love in action.
A Family United in Love
Living the Gospel: The Harvest
We believe the gospel is meant to be lived out. Jesus said, “As you go, preach… Heal the sick… freely you have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:7–8). At Agape Gathering Place, we live this mission through outreach, compassion, and community impact.
We support the hungry, the poor, the homeless, and the disabled through ministries like our Sunday bus outreach, crockpot meals, and hands-on support. We are especially passionate about serving and learning from the handicapped and disabled community—discovering their unique value and helping others do the same.
We are called to GO—and so we do, with hearts full of love and hands ready to serve, impacting our city and beyond for the glory of God.
