The Agape Feast
For centuries, the early church called their small gatherings around the table, “The Agape Feast,” or The Agape, which is the Greek word for God’s unconditional love for us and the unconditional love we can have for each other in Jesus.
The early church was devoted to the apostles teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. They did this in their homes and it overflowed into all of life, leading to them gaining favor with all the people, and the LORD adding to their number daily those who were being saved. (Acts 2:42-47) And when persecution hit, they scattered, and the Agape Feasts continued in homes, believers continued to make disciples and the church was an unstoppable, underground movement. It was a lifestyle, not just a Sunday event.
Agape Moms desires to see this sort of lifestyle restored to not just moms lives by gathering in Agape Moms, family style, missional communities, but that our families too would see all of life as designed to live with our family of God, together on mission for Jesus.
