The Mission of Agape Baptist Church:
Agape Church will follow the command of our Savior Jesus Christ to make disciples, love people, and serve the community of Labadieville.
Philippians 2: 3-4 - 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. 4 Everyone should look not to his own interests, but rather to the interests of others.
Matthew 28: 19-20 - 19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
The Vision of Agape Baptist Church:
Through prayer, worship, and service we will show the agape love of Jesus by growing his church and bringing a community out of its brokenness.
1 Peter 4:7-11 - 7 The end of all things is near; therefore, be alert and sober-minded for prayer. 8 Above all, maintain constant love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Be hospitable to one another without complaining. 10 Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve others, as good stewards of the varied grace of God. 11 If anyone speaks, let it be as one who speaks God’s words; if anyone serves, let it be from the strength God provides, so that God may be glorified through Jesus Christ in everything. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
