An Agape Circle is a small group of 2 or more people who are affiliated with the Orthodox Church and who meet together in person weekly for a certain number of weeks (2 to 6 weeks, depending on the Course). Each Agape Circle Course is designed to strengthen interpersonal connection to one another through Christ, to deepen participants’ love for God and for one another, and to inspire active service for others who are inside and outside Agape Circle and the Church. Everyone is created in the image of Christ, is loved by Christ, and needs the agapic love of Christ.
