Our Journey of Faith
Since its inception in 2000 in Palacios, Texas, Agape Family Outreach Church has grown into a cherished cornerstone of our community. Rooted in our mission to "Share God's Love," our multicultural congregation of over 200 members, led by pastors Eric and Ruth Young, strives to embody Christ's teachings through outreach, worship, and fellowship.
Agape was commissioned and mandated by God in January 2000. The church was founded on the foundation of the Solid Rock Youth Outreach Ministries, Inc. (SRYOM), which was formed in 1988 and led by Eric and Ruth Young.  The youth ministry was developed to provide the Word of God to children (Junior High and High School children) in our community.
Statement of Faith
At Agape Family Outreach Church, we are guided by the foundational truths of Christianity. We believe in the triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and uphold the authority of the Bible as God's inspired word. Our faith centers on the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and His call to love and serve others as He did.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to passionately follow Jesus Christ and share His love with our community and beyond. Through worship, fellowship, and service, we aim to nurture spiritual growth, build genuine relationships, and impact lives with the transformative power of the gospel.

Community Outreach
Actively serving our community, we participate in various outreach initiatives to meet practical needs, support local charities, and demonstrate Christ's love in tangible ways.
We're Mandated
We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the manifestation and operation of those gifts in the church moving on and through the believer (Mark 16:17-18) (I Corinthians 12).
The ministry mandate is to 1) plant the Word of God into people’s hearts and lives, 2) water the Word once it is planted, and then 3) step back and let God give the increase as stated in 1 Corinthians 3:6-8.
