Join Us!
If Jesus means everything to you, and helping others to discover Him appeals to you, why not consider joining our team? Agapé UK is made up of staff and volunteers who have responded to God’s call, “Who will go for us?” with the answer, “Here I am, send me!”
It’s not for everyone, but if you’re willing to lay down all hope of an ordinary life, it might be that God would call you to serve Him full time, as a career.
There are many different roles within Agapé UK, requiring a wide range of skills – perhaps there is something that would match the skills and experience that God has given you?

“And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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,teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”” (Matthew 28:18-20)
