AGAPE PASTORAL TRAINING
Across Africa, millions of people still have little or no access to sound biblical teaching. Many communities need trained pastors and church leaders to disciple believers, strengthen churches, and faithfully teach God's Word.
Agape Gospel Mission began in 1983 through the ministry of Pastors Rick and Donna Whitcomb. Since then, thousands of African pastors and church leaders have received biblical and practical ministry training through Agape Bible College. Today these leaders are planting churches, discipling believers, strengthening congregations, and carrying the Gospel into new communities throughout Africa.
Agape Bible College welcomes students from many Christian denominations who affirm our Statement of Faith. Many graduates serve in Agape Churches, while others return to strengthen churches and ministries within their own denominations.
