The Agape Center is a God-directed outreach ministry in Lynchburg, Virginia that attends to the felt needs of individuals and families, while also providing spiritual support. Their mission is to reflect God's love by giving of themselves and their resources as they submit to the leadership of the Holy Spirit to mentor and help individuals turn or return to a Christ centered life.

Christmas Initiative

This year for our Be Rich Christmas Initiative we want to fill the shelves of the Agape Center to overflowing with the necessities families need to keep warm and clean. If you would like to give to the Be Rich campaign monetarily, visit our giving page and select Be Rich as your fund distribution.

Agape Center has identified the below items as the top needs we can provide. Items are being collected on Sundays at Bedford Elementary School and at our New London campus. They can also be dropped off at the Lynchburg Agape Center and the Moneta Agape Center. Please check their websites for donation hours. Will you Be Rich with your resources this Christmas?
