Who We Are

Agape Community Church is a group of believers located in South Burlington that gather to worship God and be His witnesses through words and deeds. We believe that God sacrificed for us because He loves us, mending our relationship with Him, granting us his Spirit and ultimately giving us life after death. We respond to God’s love by gathering as His adopted family, reading His Word (the Bible), and teaching it to others. We seek to grow this familial love we have with God, and also share it with the Burlington area and the world.

Agape is a Greek term that early Christians used to describe the special love between God and man. This special love is revealed most clearly in the person of Jesus Christ, through his life, death, and resurrection. The agape love of God brings us rebirth and healing and generates love in us towards God and each other. It motivates us to be his witnesses and obey Him by loving and serving our neighbors and community. We hope that our services, Bible studies, and community fellowship will make this love become more alive to you and that you may share in the immense joy of salvation that comes from knowing Jesus Christ.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

Our Vision

Located in Burlington area, we wish to be instrumental in the fulfillment of God’s dream, the universal vision of building the body of Christ. We seek the abundant diversity formed by people from various backgrounds harmoniously united in the truth.

The word preached in different languages is delivered through acknowledged ministers to help people deeply digest the truth and experience individual transfiguration.

We are fully committing to fulfilling the great commission that the Lord Jesus Christ appointed His children to follow. As true disciples of Christ, we not only listen to the Word of God, but we also follow the footsteps of Christ in feeding the lost sheep and dying so that many other may live in Christ. Therefore, we wish to spread the good news of the Gospel to the world, neighborhood, and street.

We are continually growing and preparing to set up multiple sites per city. We believe that in order to share the joy of salvation that comes through Jesus Christ, we must consider the most strategic method in reaching hundreds and thousands of people. Church planting allows our congregation to put the Word into practice and reach the masses with the message of the Gospel. In this way, we can truly heal the wounded, influence lives, and change the world with the knowledge of Christ.

The Word of God gives us true life and a sense of satisfaction we could never find in the secular world. Through our gender-based, age-based, and interest-based ministries there is a place where God can use every person in investing their talents and life for the Kingdom of God. We are committed to sharing fellowship, sharing life, and sharing the joy of the Lord through our Christ-centered churches no matter the location.

We welcome those who are willing to serve with the gifts and skills innately blessed by God. We seek to branch out the types of work related to faith, varying the opportunities of revealing and making the most of all talents, ultimately to serve His Kingdom.

Faith Statement

We believe in the Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy; and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

We believe in One God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in Our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifests in the flesh, His virgin birth, His sinless human life, His divine miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension, His mediatorial work, and His Personal return in power and glory.

We believe in the Salvation of lost and sinful man through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith apart from works, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe in the Unity of the Spirit of all true believers, the Church, the Body of Christ.

We believe in the Resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

Membership

Understanding that Christ “loved the church and gave himself up for her” (Ephesians 5:25), Agape retains formal membership. We acknowledge formal membership as an important step in demonstrating our commitment to Jesus Christ.

All believers are members of the body of Christ and local church membership is the public acknowledgment of this spiritual reality. As followers of Christ, we are all “members of the household of God” (Ephesians 2:19), and it is our duty to play our roles as a member of His body. We become one healthy body when each member does its part well (1 Corinthians 12:20).

Agape Community Church holds its members in high regard—they are expected to proclaim and reveal the gospel in anywhere their life happens. In a multi-cultural city, God, in his sovereignty, placed us among these people with a purpose. We pray to be faithful managers of the House of God.
