Agape Church

What Agape Church does

Agape Church is a Christian religious non-profit headquartered at 701 Napa Valley Drive, Little Rock, Arkansas, operating a single physical campus that hosts Sunday morning services, Wednesday evening family services, and a Friday livestream communion. The organization serves individuals and families in Central Arkansas seeking spiritual community, biblical teaching, and Hebrew-roots Christian observance, and extends its reach through a Messianic Saturday service called Ahavah, age-segmented ministries (Nursery, Kids, Youth/Amped), Life Groups, and a global/local missions program.

Its core "products" are the worship services, ministries, sermon archive, and educational extensions (Agape Academy K-12, American Institute higher education). The technology stack is light and entirely third-party: the website is built on SnapPages, the mobile app and online giving run on Subsplash (with a legacy transition from AccessACS still being wound down), and outreach is supported by SMS keywords and social media. No proprietary software, APIs, or AI capabilities are disclosed.

The business model is a donation-driven non-profit. There is no pricing for services; all programs are free to attend. Revenue comes from voluntary tithes and offerings collected in person, by mail, and through the digital giving platform. Additional revenue streams are indirect: the affiliated Agape Academy and American Institute operate educational programs, and book sales (e.g., Lead Pastor Scott Stewart's "37") provide minor ancillary income. No audited financials, donor counts, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
