ALL-IN CAMPAIGN!

Agape Fellowship Church three-years capital improvement renovation program 2022-2025

GOAL: $300,000

“…I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.”

II Samuel 24:24 (NIV)

PASTOR MARLOWE’S CHALLENGE FOR YOU!

Agape Fellowship Church and the congregation’s new Genesis Kids Early Learning Center (ELC) is poised for growth and transformation. But the sad truth is that the church and the ELC sits in the middle of a designated “child care” desert area. That means the Early Learning Center resides in a location involving not having enough licensed/registered child care centers to adequately serve the number of children in a geographic area. Following the permanent closure of the former Seneca United Methodist Church on November 10, 2020, members of the new Agape Fellowship Church boldly reviewed the circumstances surrounding the evolution of young children and families moving in the area but lacking in quality day care services, and decided to act. On Easter Sunday, April 4, 2021, AFC opened her doors for the first time as a new re-purpose congregation and declared that a future day care will open within a year following.

To get on our feet, AFC and the Early Learning Center are looking to raise $300,000 over the next three years above and beyond our normal tithes and offerings. Within the next three years, AFC and the Early Learning Center is committed to expanding our “young scholars” with an educational philosophy that is “faith and “play-based” in scope, teaching young children to “Love God More!” Additionally, and as part of the church and the Early Learning Center’s commitment to expanding our reach to families, we boldly intend to grow our student base by 100 percent. In doing so, we will be able to offer a qualitative, spiritual, and academically rich program where the curriculum is culturally responsive as we service young families while addressing the “child care” desert area concerns.

AFC is not your typical church and nor will be the Early Learning Center. As a congregation, AFC was born to reflect the attitude and commitment of being an Acts 2 community—which means, we are committed to be the most generous and giving group of people you will ever meet and know. AFC’s love offerings are not monetary-based, but our offering comes in the form of liberation from the social and spiritual oppression many people go through all the time. It means if AFC is offering a chance to be liberated and free from visible and invisible social and spiritual forces around us, then this congregation must prepare the worship campus to be a physical space where all of life is transformative.

In renovating, we will be able to center our first floor administrative and youth wings around the Early Learning Center equipped with modern technology that can facilitate a child’s cognitive abilities in digital art and learning before ever reaching kindergarten and first grade. While we are centering the administrative and youth wings around the Early Learning Center to be a colorful, lively, and welcoming environment; we will not compromise our commitment to small class sizes and individual educational plans.

Therefore, we have determined through prayers, meditation, and plenty of conversations that it is in the best interest of our congregation to meet the wholistic needs of the individual, and not merely spiritual only. To stay committed to this understanding, AFC intend to raise $300,000 over the next three years to support our vision. With your support, not only we can do it, but our church family and day school can grow into the next phase of our history and meet the needs of our changing Irondequoit and Greater Rochester communities. We intend to be an oasis in a desert—that’s why we are “all in!”  And we will not sacrifice to the Lord our God burnt offerings that cost us nothing—II Samuel 24:24. We hope you will support us and give today.
