Agape Gospel Fellowship is a fully incorporated church recognized by the State of Wisconsin and affiliated with the Southern Wisconsin Baptist Association and the Southern Baptist Convention. It is a family-oriented and informal fellowship, with all age groups welcome and worshipping together. We have lively interactions; sing songs of worship and praise, talk about what's going on in our lives and the lives of those around us; pray for one another and for the needs of ourselves and others, learn about and discuss a portion of the Bible and spend time just being together for an hour or two each Sunday evening. We celebrate the ordinances commanded by our Lord; namely those of the Lord's Supper (communion) approximately once per month and water baptism as it is needed. We also may meet on Wednesday (or other) evenings to study specific passages of Scripture together in a more systematic manner, as desired. Often, we may even have a meal together, including when we celebrate the Lord's Supper.
We are happy to be available for weddings & funerals as well as compassionate visits for the home-bound, sick, dying or imprisoned.
