Agape Congress
a conference about love, identity, and living in today's culture
Cost: Free
December 8th & 9th, 2023
St. Michael the Archangel - Houston, TX
Online Registration closes December 1st
What is Agape? Agape is a type of love that is pure, self-giving, and sacrificial, that is from God and of God.
Navigating life in our sex-obsessed culture is difficult, and the places we seek to know and experience love often leave us feeling unsatisfied, disappointed, and perhaps heartbroken.
That’s why the Agape Congress is teaming up with four guest speakers on the state of love in America today. They’ll address the love crisis and give teens and adults solutions for navigating this love-deprived environment.
Whatever you’re struggling with on the Church's teachings on love and sexuality, it’s easy to feel stuck when you don't know where to find answers and be supported. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Are you ready to experience Agape?
