Join the Agape Moms Network!
If God is stirring your heart to create a place to make disciples and for moms to encounter Jesus for the first time, God may be calling you to start an Agape Moms in your church or living room! When you do, know that you won’t be doing it alone, you’ll become part of the Agape Moms Network. We would love nothing more than to link arms with you as we speak the gospel into everyday, messy mom-life.
The first Agape Moms began in 2016 as a small backyard Bible study in the Tampa Bay area with just a few moms, as pictured above. Growing into a national movement was something only God could dream up, because it wasn’t even close to being on the radar. Whether there are dozens of moms in a church setting, or we’re showing up for just one mom at the park, the heart behind our ministry remains the same. Agape Moms is for women who have a burden to reach others moms in the mess of motherhood with the transforming truth of the gospel. God multiples our small steps of obedience, and so no matter how many moms show up, we think its worth setting the table for God to move.
Agape Moms Middle TN began with 2 leaders and 12 moms and grew into this team of 25 Tiny Tribe Leaders and Mentor Moms discipling 170+ mamas after beginning just 3.5 years earlier. (see above)
Do you have a burden to reach moms around you with the gospel, but don’t know where to start? Do you have an existing moms group that needs a mission and structure? Agape Moms would love to help! Agape Moms Training is an online, video driven training series that you will navigate with the “Start an Agape Moms” drop down menu. It includes a 3 session, Biblically-rich training series along with resources to help equip you to make disciples and launch your own Agape Moms chapter. The training is meant to be self-multiplying so you can take other Tiny Tribe leaders and Mentor Moms through the same training later. Agape Moms is all about multiplying disciples, who make disciples, just like Jesus did.
